2014 pocketing

Hi, i am looking for help/opinions about the 2 1/2 axis POCKETING routine in RhinoCam 2014. It produces really bad toolpaths, it is very buggy, for example I cannot use the CLEAN CORNERS option as it produces random loops that sometimes cause gouges to any inner regions, but leaving CLEAN CORNERS unchecked leaves places unmachined that require further toolpaths, i.e. profiling. I was wondering if there were any workarounds as I use POCKETING a lot.
Thanks
Richie

The Clean Corners function was added in 2014 to use high speed loops. We are aware of some problems with this method and development is working on fixing issues as they arise. We will have an update for this shortly where you will be able to revert back to the 2012, non-high speed loops in cases where you run into problems with the new method. Please drop
[email protected] an email with any part files that illustrate these problems if you have not already done it. Thanks for bringing this to our attention.
