    Multidrill Help

    Hey New guy here. I have been programming some very basic parts for the cabinet shop I work for. Primarily 32mm line bore with 1/4" holes. We draw the parts in Autocad and then import them to Alphacam. The holes are layed out in autocad using the array function.

    Here is the odd thing, sometimes the part will drill fine with the multidrill head, other times it drills one hole at a time. Making even less sense often the part is mirrored in autocad and one side will drill fine, while the other drill one at a time.

    Any suggestions on why this happens?

    Head is an Anderson 5 x 5 on a Mandi Stratos CNC router if that matters.

    Thanks

    I just figured it out, Changed my constraints, and manually optimized the operation for y positive.
