Offsets not being created in LazyCam
« on: January 04, 2011, 07:15:09 PM »
Im trying to create an offset, on the far right end of the drawing but cannot seem to find anything to make it work.  I am trying to use an 1/8 endmill to do the entire part so I dont want to change tools.  The slots are suppose to be .125."  I have changed the tool diameter and the size of the slots but cannot seem to find a way to get them all to work.  They are identical parts but only two of the eight slots are being offset.  Any tips on this?   I have tried changing the tolerances as well

Seen this before on multiple slots and here is an easy work around. In CAD just draw a line representing the center to center of the slot and maybe put it on it's owne layer.
Then just select that layered name in LC, pick any tool dia with a defined max depth and set the depth of cut. You will get what is shown in the pic.
Sure beats trying to get them to all work. ;)
