"the error is: The diameter of the round blank (5) must equal to or be greater than the cylinder diameter + allowance (5.5)"
I have a five inch diameter round blank I want to remove 0.5 inches to prepare for a project. But I dont understand what I am doing wrong.
Thanks Mary

Re: rotary wrap error message
Hi Mary - You haven't given enough information ,but I'm going to try and answer anyway.
I'm guessing you are getting this error using the "create rounding toolpath" gadget. Since you have a 5" diameter blank you want to reduce to 4.5" for your project:
1) you would define the project using the "wrapped job setup" gadget with a diameter of 4.5"
2) you would use the "create rounding toolpath" gadget and specify"
"Diameter of round blank" = 5
"Amount of material to leave on cylinder" = 0
"Cylinder Diameter (D) = 4.5 (this should be filled in automatically for you and is your project diameter, not the blank diameter)
This will produce a 4.5" diameter blank.
Hope this helps. If not, posting your file and the settings you are entering when you get the error message would make it easier for someone to help you.
