Profile Toolpath Error - Check Tool Can Fit...

Post by WaltS »

I'm trying to toolpath what should be a pretty simple profile toopath, but keep getting the Error message Check Tool Can Fit Into Selected Vectors at Machining Depth. Sigh. I'm trying to toolpath it OUTSIDE the line. If I do it ON the line it works, outside or inside I get the error. There is nothing for the tool to fit INTO, it's a simple profile path. What am I overlooking all of a sudden??? I toolpath almost the identical profile on a regular basis with no problems. Feel stupid and brain dead at this point. :roll:

I'm having the same problem as WaltS.

Could you please explain what you mean by; "close profile" ?

Thank you
