    The curve that you are selecting for the profiling toolpath doesn't seem to be smooth enough. It probably includes some kinks that will reverse the direction of the curve at some places. Try to use...

    Re: 4x Posts going crazy after update

    Please send the Rhino model with the toolpath that isn't working to info at madcamcnc dot com and I will have a look. It's hard to tell what's going wrong without the toolpath.

    Thanks,

    Re: Toolpaths don't simulate if they are in a group

    Grouping toolpath groups will cause problems because the toolpath curves that belongs to each toolpath operation is grouped in Rhino by madCAM. When you recalculate, simulate or post process, madCAM...

    It should work if you set the Cut-Link distanse to zero. You can set the Cut-Link distance for each cutter tool in madCAM.

    Re: Post processor conditional statements

    One way is to define the planes as 0, 10 and 20 and then use the "plane" variable for the arc motions.

    Define the planes as below.

    *PLANE_XY*
    0
    *PLANE_XZ*
    10
    *PLANE_YZ*
