I created a file in solidworks and saved as an stl. I imported it into partworks 3d and created a tool path. When I run the file the first pass seems to cut ok but when it steps down to make the next pass the machine stutters and looses its x and y zero. I end up cutting that path offset unless I am standing there and stop the machine.
I was thinking I had a mechanical issue but I think it is software. I created a similar file using partworks. just a big hole cut in a block and it ran fine. When I did it in solidworks and tried it I had the same problem. Definately gets confused trying to run the tool path created from an stl import.
Anybody have any solutions?
I have version 1.002 of partworks 3d and version 10 fo solidworks.
