Path Profile on selected face fails

[RaccoonBuilds]

I'm trying to create a corner jig for my cnc. I already have cut the shape and I now want to do a second operation. I would like to do a profile operation on the inside corner faces. I have them shown in the attached image.

I keep getting an error though.

Code: Select all

I will guess you want to create something like this.

If so, I would suggest you select the top edges instead of the faces. Also, it is necessary to select the desired final depth. It appears that the automatic selection is not correct.

If this does not answer your question please add a bit more detail about what you want.

Thanks Gene! That is exactly what I was looking to do.

I was not able to select only these inner edges for a profile operation, although I found the placement of the stock very smart.
But I managed to get the correct depth, when selecting the bottom edges instead of the top. Maybe we can join our efforts and get a path for the right edges and the right depths .

Until then I would use a boundary dressup to exclude the outer edges.

[GeneFC]

Selecting the top edges or the bottom edges works, but selecting the top will require checking the final depth. I always need to set the final depth and the stepdown, since the automatic entries never work for me.

I forgot to mention that I moved the stock as well. Simply used the "Refresh" on the Job setup tab. I do this routinely all the time, so it is automatic for me.

It does not matter in this case. (I just rechecked)

So how did you arrive at only the inner paths being created in your post above? Would you mind uploading the file for further studies?

It is possible I am not understanding, because this seems very easy. In the Profile operation I just deleted the faces that the OP had selected and added the three top edges. I set an arbitrary final depth and came up with the path I showed above.

This was done with 0.21.30454, which was just before the great refactor. Otherwise I would have needed to either fix the FCStd file or delete the Job and start again.

Thanks. I will dig a bit deeper. I still have 30430 and 30492 around. I will report back.

So this is solved. In current 0.21 I can select the edges and get the paths only for them.

But a new issue occurred. I have treated your last file

with the migration script JobFixer.py from sliptonic. When I load it, the job looks good, but I get an error when I doubleclick on the Profile operation:

I attach the converted file.

I get the same "frozen" errors when I open the Profile.

No clue. I have never seen anything like that.
