Suddenly my molding toolpath in Vcarve Pro 10.5 is outputting a toolpath that only goes from 360° to 31° and then back the other way. Everything has been fine up til now. Any idea what changed. Or what I need to change to get it to do the entire 360°?
Thanks

Re: rotary axis only going from 360° to 31° and then back
What changed? What have YOU changed recently?
That said, what does the g code say?
The gcode is the final step in the process as you know. If that is reading correctly (no commands to move to 31 degrees and then go back) then you have some other issue that is machine/control related.
IMHO this whole thing these days about "there is no need to be able to read g code because the software does everything" has caused a whole lot of people a lot of time trying to figure out what is wrong because they cannot eliminate the software as being the issue.
