    Inventorcam2014 peck depth bug

    Hello.

    Just wondering if any else is noticing a flaw with the equal peck depth function. Sometimes it generates an extra pass when it not needed.

    Example. It mills 4 pass when you have 1.035" mill depth @ a equal peck depth value of .35". Should only be three.

    Here are some other examples......

    2.062" mill depth at 6 pecks (.35" peck depth)
    2.040” mill depth at 13 pecks (.16” peck depth)
    2.036” mill depth at 13 pecks (.16” peck depth)

    I reported this to solidcam, but they said that this is not a priority because the software is not crashing and it dose not cause a crash at the machine. BS! They brag about how much Inventorcam can reduce your cycle time, but here it will actually increase your cycle time by 20% on the this operation.
