Entry perpendicular to circle

Post by dgolber »

Rhino 4.0 SR9
Rhino CAM 3.0.0.48
Everything in millimeters.
Draw a circle (center at 0,0, diameter 100)
Do 2-axis engraving, cut 1 mm deep in one pass.

Set 3D entry, linear (length 3.175, Angle 20 is what RhinoCAM gave me)

The problem is that the entry path is perpendicular to the circle!

Here's a picture

The 3d entry for engraving is currently working as designed.

I presume you mean with RhinoCAM 2016

And I do hope you tested it with exactly the example I posted. After all, when _my_ Rhino CAM 3.0.0.48 was published, I bet MeCSoft thought it worked then.

Could I ask you to say "I just tested RhinoCAM 2016 in the situation you have described, and the bug was fixed."
