Tool path simulation order

inscape and sheetcam…and sometimes AUTOCAD…

yes, TinWhisperer will be able to help, thanks

BTW its happening in all of my designs

@72Pony is on the right path

In the 2D profile menu did you individually select all the geometry? Or did you select the geometry from a body by clicking one face in the manufacturing environment?

When selecting by line by line or contour by contour sometimes The preserve order function can get engaged, this may cause of your issue.

Post your f3d and we can take a closer look

i tried to but can’t find the file on my computer to upload it. i can only see it in f360

You can export a file here

make sure you are saving as a F3D

The important note is that these 3 dots … in the small orange box will bring you to the file you are saving to.

and you may select a different location to save as well.

the toolpaths look ok for setup 5 for the link.

I’ll download and look at the f3d now

it cuts the outside last is all of my files

it is showing it cutting the outside last in the simulator for me.

yea, why is that

if you have this slider left of center(green line) it will run the simulation in reverse when you hit play.

I’m sorry I mis interpreted your first question. I thought you said it was doing the outside first.

It cuts the outside last as it assumes the work clamp is clamped outside of the cut.

It needs a connection to operate if it cut the outside first you would loose your ground.

Cross v1.f3d (164.3 KB)
in the cut path, the entire cross is not cutting in the simulation. not sure why

I’ll look at it when I get back to the computer but in the meantime before you move into the simulation section you must make sure that you click or highlight the setup on the left hand side in the browser bar. If you have multiple operations you might accidentally just have one toolpath selected when you move into simulation and it will only simulate that one path. If you click the setup it’ll simulate all the paths that are under that setup in one group.
This could be what it is but I’ll check it out when I get to the computer.
