This really is the most frustrating piece of software I've ever used...
I have an open ended slot, 40mm wide.
I have a cutter, 40mm wide.
I'd like to cut the 40mm wide slot with my 40mm wide cutter.
I want to maintain associativity with my original 3D model, so using '2D Slot' is not an option, as you have to create geometry (lines) to use it.
So I assume I use 'Profiling'. It constantly errors out, says cryptic things like 'unable to produce cycle' (yeah, thanks for that - any hint why?) and gives me about 5 million options to choose from, none of which are 'mill a slot'
It seems ridiculously difficult to get edgcam to simply mill a slot, using 3D solids, when the cutter is the same size as the slot. Use a smaller cutter, and no problem, but why would you do that?
How do you do it?
