Lead In-2-1/2 Axis

Post by 1449157671 »

Multi Z Profiling-I can only get the Radius Lead in on the first pass. A straight lead in is applied to each subsequent pass.

What am I missing?

Thank You

Seems like any answer would be better than no answer......

Hello 1449157671,
Have a look at the attached revised part. The start point was causing the issue.
What did I do:
1.) Merge the curves into one curve (Curve Modeling > Merge)
2.) Moved the start point of the curve to midpoint of the side nearest when you had the start point previously (Curve Modeling > Start Point)
3.) Edit the mop, using the new curve and regenerate.
