NEw version that will not allow illegal circ/tip combinations.

Not complete, it wont warn you, it will just make a tool that is as close as you can physically get.
I suspect this will stop allot of those weird errors. Also, parameter saving is fixed.

 New version out soon, it wont allow such tools to exist. Also ..save parameters if fixed for depths and such.

Hi Rich:

  Foudn and fixed, the real problem is the tool is impossible.

A square tool with an inscribed circle of .01 cannot physically have a tool tip radius of .01, they cannot fit
in the equation for a square. Hence, the tip is impossible by physical definaition, so the tip didnt get created,
this caused a fault when the program tried to match the collisions.

  Ive captured the fault and it will generate a "tip failure" in future. Its also why the tool looks round, its trying to fit the .01 tip radisu on each of the 4 corners of a tool
which has an incribed radisu of only .01.

 Ill try as well to make the tool generator tell you thats impossible. Once fixed, I get a fairly good toolpath from it.

Hi:

 Sorry about that, I had tested it, but I may have been in just radius or diamter mode..

The Leak isnt actual, its a warning that the object wasnt deleted by LTurn as it closed, I need to search for it, very small
objects so its not a big deal really.
Seems intermittant.. But Ill search for it..

Hi:

 The shutdown error is an indication a toolpath was stopped in generation at some point or that a step was skipped due to sensing a bad profile.
This profile woudl be problematic as it faces the wrong way for LazyTurn or the tool wont fit properly in that narrow arc. Future versions may handle it p[roperly , but really its a facing job that facing backwards, and neither LCam nor LTurn will properly do facing.

Rich:


 Pretty much any profile shoudl work.. but facing is meant to be a different process, so having dips in the Z face is likely to cause trouble..

LazyTurn never really locks up, it just see's things are so complex that it takes near forever. I havent seen it actually stop, so theres no way to intercept it as yet. Ill run some tests this week and see what I can do and what I see using your files...
