I am wanting to mill a flat oval with 2 holes in it
Program is locking up in the
2 1/2 axis -
profiling -
Select Drive/Containment Regions - I select that and get the box thats says "Select objects-hit right mouse to end" , nothing happens ? ? or it will freeze everything for 5 minutes or so ?

I can Select Flat Area Drive Regions and it highlights the inner holes and the outside of the oval and has a small square box on the lines ,and says
"1 Drive Flat Area 1" in the box above that is supposed to define the area.

What am I doing wrong / or is this another "If you want that to work you need to buy the $800.00 program" ?

Which I am contemplating , but would rather be able to at LEAST complete a simple operation without the program locking up, before spending the $$$.

Figured out PART of the problem

Part was drawn in VisualCAD then imported to VM , for SOME reason VM wont recognize the part drawn in VC

If I redraw it in VM it works ? ? ? at least I can get through that glitch.

You do realize that this is a MACH3 forum NOT a visualmill forum ?

Just a thought, (;-) TP
