Lines have wrong vectors

danielo1991
Hi all,

This error is driving my crazy guys. I even updated the software but it still there (potentially my fault, however all operators struggle too). Basically when we create lines sometimes (most days) lines disappear. What I mean by that is I can't see black line on the CAD model however after clicking on F9 you can see that path line is OK, but vectors are incorrect. Why is it doing this itself ? I know how to fix the vectors, but I do not want to go there every time.... Surely I am doing something wrong, has anyone came across this before ? See photos

    Your second picture has the depth set at 2mm. So, theoretically, the machine is trying to probe those coordinates 2mm into the part.
    Hence why it doesn't visibly appear, it's beyond the CAD face (inside the part).

    Turn off cad graphics and see if the line appears to confirm.

    I've had issues with auto lines where they just fubar themselves. I've dismissed it as an "undocumented improvement", and resorted on occasion to just generate auto hits and construct the line I need. lol.
