Groove Toolpaths in XML Export
Posted: Fri Jan 24, 2020 9:24 pm
Hello Everyone!
I'm having a little difficulty with the XML export for Ardis, for the Groove function in TopSolid'Wood.
Picking High Arm, Up Arm, or On Center doesn't matter - it almost always comes out on Center.
This is an issue because we have three different CNCs and all of them have slightly different size bits (a 1/2" bit could be 11.5mm, 11.9mm or 12.6mm depending on the CNC).
If the tool comes in On Center, this means that two different CNCs will produce two different sized grooves from the same toolpath - but if it was Left or Right then this would be eliminated.
In the XML, the callout that controls this is OpSide, which is set to either 0 (Left), 1 (Right), or 2 (On Center).
Does anyone know a reliable way to get this to always come out as 0 or 1?
