Hi,

Mastercam X5
I can setup tool paths for flat surfaces, the curved surface and the holes I keep getting this "boundary does not lie in the construction plane" error. I can open up a cube with holes in it and I can setup tool paths fine for that, just not cylinders.
im useing pocket toolpath

Can anyone help with this error?



Thanks

The boundary that you are selecting is not laying flat, ( all points having tha same Z value )

Pre-set a Z plane value, drawing level, color for easier separation

For wireframe geometry
Try using Xform --> Project

For getting a boundary from surfaces
create the sufaces from solid faces --> run the Create_boundary.DLL c-hook ,
