I know I posted in here about a custom endmill, one with a 1/8" shaft and 1/16" cutter ball end, but can't find it.
I have created one and i get an error message.
i wanted to find the post that I read about and see if I missed a step.

That line going up the middle of the tool looks suspicious. The error message you received usually occurs when the assigned tool geometry can't be modeled in the simulation. Remember, solid lines for cutting edges and dotted lines for non-cutting edges like shanks and cutter bodies.

Hope this helps

Thanks!

I missed the dotted line thing, changed the drawing and now that part looks right.
Finally got it. The video was very helpful.
This also showed, (which I already knew,) that this tool would not work in the cavity I was cutting, the larger diameter shaft would rub on the side, but now the simulation verifies that.
Thanks again!
