This is somewhere where I am not sure what to think. I see an argument that the machine should follow the programmed toolpath, and if the toolpath is impossible then it should refuse, rather than follow a path that is not programmed. An example would be an arc in centre-point format. Should the softeare refuse to make an impossible arc, or should it modify the arc to be possible? -- atp "A motorcycle is a bicycle with a pandemonium attachment and is designed for the especial use of mechanical geniuses, daredevils and lunatics." — George Fitch, Atlanta Constitution Newspaper, 1916 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Check out the vibrant tech community on one of the world's most engaging tech sites, SlashDot.org! http://sdm.link/slashdot _______________________________________________ Emc-developers mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-developers
