seconded... come on folks there must be more than the handful of people in this thread that need CV to work properly... or are you all secretly turning it off or... using T**C?!!!!! ;D

I know Art, Brian et al are busy and have to schedule priorities but with the support this thread is getting it's a no brainer (sic) why it's not at the top of their list.

Ian,

Your quite right that the CV works on CW angles but not on CCW angles.  I did the same tests that you performed in your post of 9/28/07 which answers my questions.  I have dropped back to version 2.42 which does not have the problem.  Most of the routing I do is in a CCW direction so I can't use the latest code until this if fixed.  Maybe Brian or Art will hear us and give a progress report.

Brian,
To go along with the drawing Ian provided on 9/28/07, I'm attaching a sample tap file that demonstrates the failure.

It's a sine wave that shows how CV drops out when angles are in a [CCW] direction.
Running at 70 ipm you see the speed moving right along during the first half of the wave, chord angles are [CW] and CV is working.
Now in the second half of the wave the chord angles are [CCW] and it slows way down, CV has dropped out.

In Config/General Logic Config:
    CV Dist Tolerance = 0.01
    Stop CV on angles > 35 Degrees

Hope this will be useful to you.
Regards,
Tom

I just got back and I will work with Art to see if we can find where the problem is with the CV... Thanks and sorry for the delay

Hi Guys:

  Direction of movement error in CV found and fixed for the next release.
Sorry for the long delay on the fix.. We did manage to find it this evening..
