I created a 2" long, 1.5" diameter concave roller centered on the X axis as my first shot at a simple 4th axis test:
I select the model and a 0.1" ball nose tool ... OK.
I select model stock ... OK
Then create a box region around the model to give the tool room to run. (No clipping planes defined.)
I set the X axis as the rotational axis:
When I try to generate tool paths, I get the error:
I did notice that setting the 4th axis direction also resets the region back to the size of the model ... I
had to set the region again before trying to gen the tool paths ... even doing that I still am doing something wrong and generating the same error.
Any suggestions as to what I am doing wrong here?
-------------------------------
If I don't select the stock or set the region, paths are generated, but the simulator doesn't have any stock to start milling from.
Appreciate any help!
