I've noticed that recently any time I do a spiral pocket, Sheetcam will always start from the outside and work its way in. I am sure it used to be the other way around. This sometimes causes me a problem because the central island of material that is left can jam up in the cutter.
Is there some way of changing this?

Thanks.

As far as I know this hasn't changed recently. Unfortunately there isn't any way of changing it at the moment. Have you tried using zigzag pocketing instead?

Thanks for your response Les. I sometimes do use the zigzag pocketing, however it sometimes also suffers the same problem, and I find it less easy to assess whether it will do it prior to running the code than I do with the spiral pocketing.
