Troubleshooting isoline milling

  • The toolpaths are on the wrong side of the surface — On the Surface control tab, change the machining side to Reverse using the Cut direction button.
  • Toolpaths should go the other direction or start at the other end of the surface — On the Surface control tab, the Start Curve column has the options of First Row, Last Row, First Col, Last Col. Select the surface in the table and click the Set isoline row/col button to cycle through the options. The start point and direction of the first toolpath is marked with an arrow in the Graphics Window.
  • Performance is slow — If you do not need the Avoid self-gouging milling option, turn it off.
  • Surfaces are cut in the wrong order — On the Surface control tab, use the arrow buttons to rearrange the order of the toolpaths.
  • Toolpaths for a surface are reordered strangely — Select the operation in the feature’s tree view. Go to the Milling tab. Deselect the Reorder option.
