offset problems
« on: October 11, 2010, 06:29:30 AM »
Hi,
for my first post I've a offset pb with lazycam (mill).
I'm working in millimeters.

the pb is for the outside of piece, if I create a 4unit (4mm) outside offset all is going fine,
but If I try to create a 2mm offset the offset isn't continues, is cut in two around the X0 line

I've attach the dxf



PS: excuse me for my english, i'm french ;)

See attached dxf. I created a layer just of the outside profile. You will find two offsets created by LC which you can unenable.
I used a 1mm to create the first offset and then used that offset to create another 1 mm offset of it, thus the second offset is 2mm outside
of the original profile. Both are continuos. For some reason it didn't like a 2mm tool diameter.
