Do anyone have clue:
When I make hole pocketing it have helical engage entry but I do not get helical movements in my programs.
I have defined spiral and helical movement as linear segments in Machining Preferences but still I cat get it output helical motions at all, there is only planar arcs in program.

Hi,
the problem can have two reasons.
1. in the Preferences Mashine Prefences Arc Output
check all 3 options.
Than the VM never outputs Arcs. It will everything output as lines.
2. If you want use arcs, you have to check your Post. May be the definition of Arc, Spiral and/or Helix-Motion is not propper.
Best Regards
Peter
