    Mastercam X6 toolpath crossing geometery

    Hello,

    Importing drawing from cad and have not had this problem before. When selecting contoured tool path the generated tool path crosses over the corresponding geometry. Please help. We are having difficulty and I cannot find or don't know where to look to fix this. The tool path appears to cross the line and create it's own shape. Thanks in advance for any advice.

    Regards,
    J

    J,
    My first question... Contour 3D? Are all Entities lines and arcs in a flat plane. Are there multiple entities that are exactly on top of each other? On chain or multiple chains?

    Thanks for the help. It turned out to be a combo of issues.
    1.) Multiple chain on top of each others (imported from correl that way
    2.)In System configuration
    -tolerances
    --Min arc length was set to 0.5 on accident.
    Thanks again Bill!
    Regards,
