    Facing question, see file

    I have a simple imported 3d solid that i have created curves on. IT is just a simple flat surface that stops when it reaches a step up to another surface. Problem is the facing toolpath keeps extending into the next solid surface. Ideas? File is a rar.

    this should be cut as a 2d contour not a facing as you are not facing and over laping the part.

    Technically correct, every op has its own place.

    Still if you can tweak a few things some "out-of-place" ops can get you the same results faster.

    I agree as I have done things with MC that the system would give errors in the past but pushed it thru anyway to get what I wanted out of the code.

    in the older days we did not have a third of the options we have now. Late 80,s early 90,s

    So keep pushing and trying thinks.
