My rotary workpiece does not show the toolpath on the rotary

Whenever I design a rotary workpiece in Carveco, I realize that the design does not show on the rotary. What should I do to let it show or how do I fix this?

  • Gary,

       Take a look at this video:

    It goes over what I think you are wanting.

  • Many thanks for your contribution, Michael Sherve.

    The demonstration video which you've shared focuses on working in Carveco Maker Version: 1.48 Build: 2023-11-20-1550-d05f8f97 and above; you can find the associated Release Notes on our company website: Carveco - V1.48 Release Notes

    It is worth noting that Gary Smith is working in Carveco Version: 1.19 Build: 2020-12-08-1108-618acac0.

  • Thanks, I didn't know about all that, the version that he has and what version was on the video, I do not have a 4th axis and figured that he might have been a little frustrated, sometimes when I get frustrated I lose some of the ability to focus on things in order to fix them right so I thought the video would help him a ton.

      Again thank you.

  • Hi Gary Smith,

    Here is a screenshot of the Profile toolpath in your TEST.art model calculated and simulated in Carveco Version: 1.56 Build: 2024-09-02-1218-4b2bc7a5:

    Please note that you cannot view a wrapped simulation of your calculated Profile toolpath in Carveco Version: 1.19 Build: 2020-12-08-1108-618acac0 in the way shown in the screenshot above. The ability to do so was introduced in Carveco Version: 1.48 Build: 2023-11-20-1550-d05f8f97; you can find the associated Release Notes on our company website: Carveco - V1.48 Release Notes

    In your supplied screenshot, you have both the 3D View toolbar's Toggle Material Block Visibility and Toggle Simulation Visibility buttons toggled on, as shown below:

    Please click the 3D View toolbar's Toggle Material Block Visibility and Toggle Simulation Visibility buttons to toggle them off, leaving only the Toggled Rotary/Flat button toggled on.

    You should then expect to view your calculated Profile toolpath in the 3D View correctly, just as shown below:

    Thanks for your time and consideration.
