Still using 2001. In a simple turning profile sequence the tool passes across an asphericcurve (created from an equation) then cuts a series of radii. How can I get the CL data to cut linear point-to-point on the curve and cut arcs on the radii? It does some kind of arc fitting on the curve that ends up being output as a series of circular interpolated moves. If I set the CIRC_INTERPOLATION parameter to anything other than ARC_ONLY it out outputs the radii as points (lots of them). Cutter comp is off. Accuracy is at the lower limit and the tolerance parameter is set to 1e-008.
Now I am making separate sequences and changing the CIRC_INTERPOLATION parameter then manually editing the three programs together. Too much chance for me to error. Tell me there is a simple solution. </DIV>
