Offline programming tool path issues

[maggrett10]

The fish hooks (as I call them on the ID) is usually caused by cutter comp look ahead. Check to see what parameter 99 is set at on the offline and the control. In Intercon F9 set up you can see what it cutter comp look ahead is set to ( same as parameter 99) by scrolling clear down to the bottom. Nose radius and cutter comp together can cause this also with not enough travel between moves.

They were set at the same setting but i was able to get the fishhooks to go away by removing the nose radius in tool offsets. That seems to work for now as i will be posting on the machine anyways! Thanks!

If you don't want cutter comp, than deselect it in intercon instead of setting nose radius to 0...

cutter comp works great on the machine i just cant get it to work right on the offline intercon

sounds like the offline tool library is not right?
