    Invalid Flute Length Error

    I am getting an error:

    Couldn't construct a mwTypedRevolvedTool object(Invalid Flute Length)


    Not too sure what is wrong, I am cutting 1.3" deep, using a .750" end mill with 3" flutes. Using the simulator I get the above error, using Predator the part runs. Any ideas?

    I'm getting the same thing in V25 Pro while trying to compute an 3D Advance Roughing feature using a 5/16 Niagra router (TiN). Not sure what the depth of cut is since its taking it from the solid model.

    Found solution. I noticed that the overall tool length was zero, but the extension length was set. Setting the overall tool length to be longer than the extension length allowed the tool path to be compiled and the simulation to run, both with out errors.
