Hi


Well this weird problem is still happening.

I have done another drawing with z set as up in fusion , which I definitely prefer.
This time I tried drawing the board with extruding -18mm instead of 18mm, to make sure everything was referenced from the top centre surface. Then I did a .5mm pocket. In the setup I used the same central origin position as in the drawing to avoid confusion.
Ran the simulation inside fusion which looked perfect, cutter started in the middle ran all around the board leaving a border and stopped, withdrawing the cutter.

Great I thought so once again I post processed it using the UCCNC option.

Well once in UCCNC it is again looking like it wants to chew right through the board.

Its like somewhere in between the two softwares it is flipping the z axis upside down?????

I don`t get why it let me cut a small test pocket which I created in exactly the same way.

You don't need to do this.

I think the issue is where you are setting the origin (WCS) in Fusion.

Ok, its sorted now.

Sorry to waste everyone`s time with this. It turns out that I was being stupid.
I was thinking that the white box that appears inside the toolpath graphic inside UCCNC was actually representative of the item/ stock to be cut.
When I was cutting a couple of random smaller pockets for another test I noticed the white box was not really relevant to the size of the project to be cut. DOH!!!
I guess it was because the spoilboard is the size of the cutting area it just initially looked like it was the stock.

I am sorry if I have had you scratching your heads with my rookie mistake here.

I have surfaced the spoilboard now, which looks like it might have been largely pointless as the cut is even all around the lip, so the sub table is pretty flat.

Thanks for all your help.
