Steve:

  It is counter to intuition. A button tool woudl grouge the stock more easily due to the radius of the tool. A triangle or groove woudlnt, it can get
closer to the profile without hurting it. Remember, all we generate at this point is the roughing path. Fine paths will be awhile yet..

Anyway, play with it and post what you find. No promised shcedule, its my "fun" project so its a slow one.

Hi Guys:

  Weird the way the mice are telling the system theyve been clicked..  Ill tighten up the code and remove that, in the meantime, he's a stock fix..

Steve:

 Any mouse click while generating a toolpath with stop the path ( optionally) , so I suspect your double clicking the post button, its seeing the second click as a stop command.

The OpenGL errors Im still looking for, I dont get them mut I suspect they are due to some small number problems ( the program was written in metric and Im converting some things to match standard measurments..

 You set zero to the end of stock by clicking the red arrow on top of the stock, the other arrows allow the stock diamter to change and such. The tool waving is a diag for me and will stop soon.

Looks about right to me, the drawing gets modified to fit certain rules as iut loads. As to Doc's..nope. Its only a development program, there are no instructions..

 You have to first install the LazyCam update on the downloads page of the main website.
Its a special build that includes the required files..

Hi Chip:

   Its still in units, but I made the mistake of not converting to integers. I may in fact at this point stop everythign and do it all in intgers by mutiplying everythign by 10,000. Migth make all the small number errors go away. Trouble is thats allot of changes to make. Im still evaluating if that necessary..

Graham:

  Are we talking the same definition of inscribed circle?
TO me, the setting is the largest circle that can be placed on the entire tool..
For example in a triangle insert, the inscribed circle is the size of a circle placed in the center of the triangle. So in your case, the entire
tool insert would be less than .04" wide? How owuld you bold it to a holder?
