Re: STL problems
Hi,
We think we may have fixed the issue with holes on long triangles.
Can you try this BETA file out for us?
https://www.denfordata.com/downloads/Qui ... 10-exe.zip
It's just the QuickCAM4D.exe file so will just need copying into the program files directory.
Make a backup of the original QuickCAM4D.exe file before replacing it - just in case!

Re: STL problems
we use either 6mm or 1/4", and a 6mm in this case
the attachment is the stl. file we used in conjunction with the new exe.

Re: STL problems
I've just tried that model with a 6mm cutter in the new .exe and it looks ok to me (see toolpath screenshot below)
Are you sure you were running the new v1.10 file ? Go to menu > Help > About and check the version there.

Re: STL problems
Ok, what I meant was, when you tried the new .exe I posted earlier are you sure it was actually running version 1.10 ?
I can't see why the problem would remain for you, but has been fixed for me in 1.10 with the same model and same tool size

Re: STL problems
Sorry - it looks like I posted an older version of 1.10 Beta in that .zip file
Download the .zip again and I'm sure it'll get rid of your hole issue (the .exe's modified date should be 25/06/2012 15:38)
