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
our IT dept has done as asked and no difference in the holes appearing during a cutting path being made.
they have returned the orig. exe. file

many thanks for you support on this and i hope you can find a solution to the problem...if there is anything else we can do at our end please ask

Re: STL problems
What size cutter are you using ?
I didn't get any holes with your model and that latest .exe file :?
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
we have opened 4d with the new exe. and we are running 1.10.0.51
attachment is the screen shot of the stl file with the holes still there

Re: STL problems
Sorry - it looks like I posted an older version of 1.10 Beta in that .zip file :oops:

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)
