pocket cutting issue

[jimmiethekid]

For some reason I can't get the entire rear trem of my strat model to cut out.

I can cut out the pocket part that is about 5/8 deep. The trem part that lines up with the top doesnt want to cut. Let me rephrase that .. I can't get it to cut. I have everything done from the surface cuts and all the other pockets and I'm stumped.

Msg me ifyou work with Mastercam and wanna help out and maybe see what I'm doing wrong.

Cheers.

Is that vector closed? I think you can't create a pocket toolpath until you do so.

I create a pocket by using a solids (not wideframe) it selects the entire pocket, I select toolpath, do all that good stuff and nothing. It has all the geometry and I can go to simulate it but nothing shows, the exact same process I have done for all the other pockets and they work fine. I tried wideframe and selecting, closing the loop and all that. I know I'm missing something somewhere.
