Overhang is not functional. Finish is the amount of stock you want to leave for another finish pass. So you would clean out the area and then make a finish pass.

BTW This particular profile is a PITA!

Thanks.  So any idea how to make a PITA pocket?  Or are we refering to the other deffintion of Pita?

cpayne,
For this PITA file just take one read of the attached file before going to bed and then
apply  the verbage  to the attached Lcam. 

I have seen this kind of problem when trying to do a pocket. When it dosen't work, which can be due to a whole
bunch of things, the drawing, the tool, practical machining approach, corrupted file. Sometimes it's just better to take a different approach and it will get pocketed. BTW, i tried to pocket it with a different program and it was even worse. You won't pocket something if you can't create an offset for the profile. So that is always my 2nd option after a check of the drawing.
Please note that i wanted to do this using  an 1/8" end mill. with smaller cutters it probably would have been easier i guess.

Yup.....see that now, Thanks.
Never had THAT change before. Always at .0001, till now.

Decimal precision is saved in the .dxf file. So when you open it, it **should** change the settings in your CAD program as well.

I thought that MIGHT be the case but wasn't sure.....Thanks Gerry

Well after much fiddling and what not, I decided to try to draw the pocket cuts in CAD.  I managed to get the outside and inside offsets as one continous chain.    In drawing the offsets in CAD (Solidworks) i releasized why LazyCam had trouble with it.  Just offseting the lines kept creating all sorts of illegal overbound situations, but I finally faked it inot working.   Next is to try it out and see what happens.   THe issue will be as I need to make tweaks to the design, etc I will have to manually repocket it or manipulate it so lazycam can handle it each time, both time consuming...

THanks for all the help.
