    Need help with a sloped 3D slot toolpath

    Hello,

    I am having one hell of a time trying to generate a sloped 1/16" slot. I need to use a 1/16" ballnose cutter with a 5/8" flute length for the full slot width. The toolpath strategy that I would think would do this is a 3D contour to rough it out in HSMworks. I select the face of the slope and this is what happens. It generates a toolpath at the ends of the slot but not through the length of it. Not what I want obviously. How would I solve this and any recommendations on how to do this with other strategy's are welcome.
