Turned Pattern x leg error
Hi
I am new to gadgets and Turned Profile. I use vcarve 11. Turned Profile continuously says my x legs don’t start at the same point and I think are not the same length sometimes. I use the rectangle creator and only use numbers so the rectangle that I modify with half circles can’t be off. At least that seems correct to me. I can’t seem to get by this error. Can you help?

Re: Turned Pattern x leg error
Can you upload your CRV or CRV3D file?
If the file is too large to upload here you can use a file sharing site such as drive.google.com, onedrive.com, or dropbox.com. They all have free accounts available

Re: Turned Pattern x leg error
Hi Randall
I attached the *.crv file that is giving me the x legs error as you requested. Hope it goes through.
on another topic. is there a Gcode editor that will check syntax as you build a file. Will CONTROL do it. if so i have not be able to figure it out.
Will notebook ++ do it but it doesn't seem to support gcode. Is there a gcode file that gives it that capability.
Thanks again for all your help.

Re: Turned Pattern x leg error
You don't need the far left vector, only the legs. Also the legs appear to be way too long for your model.

Re: Turned Pattern x leg error
Thanks gkas
I was able to create a toolpath but what i got was not as expected. The carving was not all around the cylinder. It looks like only partially. Would you mind taking a look again for the novias. I sent you the *.crv file again as test flute #4 to this post using onedrive. I hope i did things correct.
Thanks for your help in advance

I don't see a file. Turn and spin only gives you half the profile.

Here is another way to do it with the moulding toolpath.

Re: Turned Pattern x leg error
Randall looking forward to trying your suggestion but docs have been all over us. Might take a few days to give it a try

Re: Turned Pattern x leg error
I use an X-to-A post processor since my rotary is parallel to the Y axis.
How is your rotary set up? Is it parallel to the X or the Y axis?

Re: Turned Pattern x leg error
Yes, my 4th axis is parallel to my Y axis. Also my y axis, as part of a workbee is driven by 2 steppers. I moved the x axis stepper wire to the rotary. Should I use a
Rotary_Wrap_X = “A” statement. Is that the correct syntax and what I want to put in my post processor. I decided to modify a wrapper pp from wrap y to wrap x. It is a good gcode learning exercise.
Thanks for your thoughts

Re: Turned Pattern x leg error
On the Workbee, how do you tell it to move in degrees rather than inches/millimeters?
