Cut link distance was defaulted to 16, changed it back and now it works.


makes me wonder if I grabed another larger end mill already in madcam and just renamed and changed the parameters on the first page

Thanks

Changed it back to what? If cut-link causes the pocketing to not happen, that sounds really odd.
Taken from the help file:
Maximum distance for traveling to the next tooolpath on the model without rapid traverse.

I did a new test and changed the cut-link to 16 and the hole was still processed. Are you sure you didn't change another value at the same time?
