Rhino Fillets in MasterCam

[BarnBurner]

I use Rhino 3D to make solids, and made some parts with pockets that exported as .dxf and worked perfectly in MasterCAM.

Next I tried to use the Rhino 3D Fillet command and then generate G-Code with MasterCAM, and I could not get it to recoqnize the Fillet. I tried it many different ways, but no luck.

Anyone know how to do that?

I am using MasterCAM 7.2 Mill, and the newest Rhino.

Did you check Normals ?

[BarnBurner]

I could only find Test norms, and Check model under

Analyze: Surfaces:

That didn't work, it just kept telling me to Try Again

The part I made is a 3D Solid, not surfaced. It was extruded as a solid, then 'difference' and 'Solid fillet'

I don't know exactly what you need to know, so tell me what info would explain this better.

So you are using version 7.2 with solids am I correct?
and you are trying tool path the solid or the surface from a solid?

Can you eamil me you file

>So you are using version 7.2 with solids am I correct?

Yes

>and you are trying tool path the solid or the surface from a solid?

I want it to add a fillet to the top oustide edge of a pocket; the part was extruded as a solid.

>Can you eamil me you file

I could send you the .dxf.

ACAD 2000 .dxf exported from Rhino

BarnBurner, may I have the Rhino file as in MC V9.1 you are able to bring direct Rhino files in.

thanks.

[BarnBurner]

The .dxf is exported from Rhino as an Acad 2000 .dxf.

I have added the .3dm.

Not sure how that would help me anyway, as I am only running 7.2.

[cadcam]

ok the problem is there is no surface to surface with.
What type path do you want to use?

I can make a surface on it to make it work and give you back an Iges to bring in to 7.2 mc and cut it.

[BarnBurner]

That would help me with this, but could you possibly tell me how to do it myself using Rhino or within MasterCam?

I'd like to be able to do it myself, and have tried for days; there is just something I'm missing...

[cadcam]

Ok now I need to know are you going to surface the path or use a radi tool being a 2d path?

[BarnBurner]

I wanted to surface it so it could be cut on the X and Y axis', and stepped on the Z.

The mill I have is screws, not ball, so if it steps alot on the Z, it leaves ridges.
