AOK ART.....I gotcha now.
Thanks,
RC

NICE, Art!

Art,
I'll include the files when if I find something. The insanity in my naming convention goes something like this.
A_B dxf_hcir_*********xx

A=REFERENCE TO MY FOLDER
B=DRAWING NUMBER
hcir= rich
*********x= C MEANS COMMENT 1,2,3, ETC FOR THE POSTING, OR DESCRIPTION IE; GCODE


RC,
Yep, looking forward to the show in York. Are you going?

RICH

Thankyou HOOD, CHIP, RICH and other friends

My problem is solved by changing the mode i.e IJ  . This is good learning with you all.

Thanks again

Hi, Art

It appears that having a horizontal line on C/L 0,0 start causes a Open GL Error's, But it allows the Rough Cut to start at 0,0 C/L.

If it's has a vertical line or has no line at the 0,0 start the Rough Cut starts Short of the  0,0 C/L.

Any Thoughts, Chip

Chip:

  Yes, its illegal to have a c/l line. TO control the start position of the cut, use the main options menu, you can set a Z-Offset from the piece there.
Ill add code to remove any c/l object found. That shoudl clear that up.

Hi, Art, All

Hears the dxf's and a Post of the top picture hear, Rough and Finish.

 Edit: Thanks, Art i'll give it a try, But will this fix the Rough not starting at 0,0 C/L ?.

Thanks, Chip

Hi, Art

I had the Z-Offset set to .1, Set it to .25, Only change was more Z setback, Rough still falls Short of 0.0 C/L.

Edit: "In the cut, use the main options menu, you can set a Z-Offset from the piece there.", Do we need a X Rough Offset from 0,0 C/LValue Also. ?

Thanks, Chip

Chip:

 Ahh, sorry, I misunderstood. Now I see the issue. Ill look into the algorithm and see if I can force it to zero. It automatically decides when to stop based on some pretty strange criteria due to some profiles that may cut inward ( like a cup shape ), since a tool woudl snap cutting inwards, it stops early.. But in your case it looks like it shoudl continue inwards..

Hi, Art

Thanks, It's sometimes hard to give an explanation that's clear with these finger's.

Just want to say, Things are working very well.

If you can get " Ill add code to remove any c/l object found", this should fix most of the other OpenGL issues, I'm thinking.

Cutting a Ball End and or a Part Cutoff should be a vertical line or Cir/Arc move.

I had noticed if a Horizontal line was off the Z Zero point it didn't cause the OpenGL error.

As I've asked before, Have you thought of a way to do Inside Cut's.

At this time using LazyTurn and LazyCam Turn to do Rough and Finish Post's is pretty Easy.

Thanks for all you do Art.
