absurdly long toolpaths..
I can only get a decent toolpath out of the parallel finish function. If I try to use the parallel roughing operation I get anywhere from a 2500-10,000 minute long toolpath. It takes an hour to generate them, and there is a sea of red rapid paths leading all over. What kind of nonsense is this? If I try to use waterline forget about it. I don't have the patience to wait several hours just to generate a tool path that would take a week and a half to run.
What the heck is going on here? anyone had a similar experience? I have been using meshcam 7.

What's your tolerance setting under Job Setup? Try increasing it.
I haven't seen any issues like that, but I rarely use V7. I HATE the interface, and much prefer V6.

In running back to back comparison between fusion 360 and mesh cam the mesh cam has much longer mill times with much worse finish lot of those week long kinda things radius's seem to have a faceted effect
