designed a part with the new update 996 and found that the chamfer feature always goes back to flat point chamfer instead of sharp when i compute toolpath. it will show the picture for the flat chamfer mill but keeps the selected sharp chamfer mill int he check box. BUT when i choose compute all toolpath it will definitely change the program and the flat chamfer mill end sup being what the machine runs...but you get NO INDICATION that it changed...the simulation shows it changed...

how do i know???? screwed up 2 god parts on the last tool feature ran tonight before i figured out what the hell was going on....


anyone else have this issue with update 996???

Did you enter an amount for the small end diameter ?
Seems to work here.


God parts,uh oh.

Seems to be sticking over here.....

[Big Chips]

yes it will stick... but did it do so in simulation AFTER you compute toolpath and then compute all tool path ?

[Big Chips]

yeap..i have a bug..does this on 2 of my 3 seats (have not tested 3rd seat/computer)... once you compute all tool path it will change..

burr /jr send me your emails and i will send you both the file this is happening to....so you can assist and see what i am talking bout

I cant seem to get it to loose the seeting no matter how I compute-simulate, compute all-sim-compute while sim etc....

Before you send files, have you tried to re-create the chamfer from scratch? ie; dont use the bbcd file or a saved feature. Re-create the chamfer feature.

Are you still needing help ?

i think it may be the cad drawing....other drawings i have work fine...so something is working funky on my geometry.... thanks jr
