I have a few questions about the attached v25 BobCad file. I am engraving around a tube and the simulation turns out very crappy for me. My engraving features do a series of 1 thou passes to engrave to a total depth of 6-7 thousandths. If I just plunge pretty deep the simlulation looks ok. Maybe their round stock isn't perfectly round and it's just skipping on the surface, not sure.
The ordering of the engraving is suspect as well. It seems to start at a "willy nilly" location and skip through letters, etc. Weird.
When I import into Mach3 it leaves out some of the toolpath. Just random parts of letters missing. Not sure why. And my first attempt at engraving a piece of tubing left a line across the tubing where it should not have. The "clearance height" was calculated, but I don't think the command to raise to that height was obeyed for some reason.
Can somebody with v25 and Mach3 take this file and import it and see what I could have hosed up?
