    Error 509 arc lack intersection

    Control is a Centurion 1. This is strange, "The alarm 509 Arc lacks intersection" looks like a small gap in the run on the graph.
    When looking at the dot moving along you can see several blocks ahead and there is a small gap and that's were it stops.
    I have checked, run, verified and watched it machine the part in solid with my Bobcad, yet it stops on the Milltronics. It did two pockets and a hole with no problems then stopped on the third pocket.
    I am new with milltronics and Bobcad, now I know if I have a break in my bobcad I can't chain it together and I can't select my geometry.

    Smile intersection problem

    Milltronics sometimes has a problem when two lines or circles intersect at a real sharp point, try putting a .010 -.020 rad. at the spot you are having a problem, this works some times.

    I have run milltronics control for a number of years and have had the best luck running the Conversational programs the are so much easier to run once you get the hang of it

    hope this works for you L.L.

    Thanks for the quick response LL. The problem is I generate the program with Bobcad so I can't add any extra stuff, it was what it is.
