Incorrect toolpath for ball-cutters

Hi,

I am using standard "Play path" to see tool path.
It works ok with usual tools.
If I load a modeled ball-tool from tool library (which is modeled with holder) by reference or by copy, I get incorrect tool path.

How it can be fixed?

in your solid model, set up a parameter called: tool_type


set type to "string"


set value to: ball mill--- do NOT have an underscore between the word ball and mill


also, be sure to have "corner_radius" defined in the properties of the dimension in your solid model
 
Also make sure you have a csys defined in the solid model and name it TIP
