Re: Autodesk and FRC 2016

Hi Phil,
I am currently using inventor HSM 2016 to generate complex 3d and 2d toolpath operations. some of the cutters i am using for these toolpaths are a non-centercut type tool. Does Inventor HSM have any easy support for these types of operations to force a ramp into the material? I have been having to fudge the settings to force a ramp. If it does not, I would recommend that sort of setting as an improvement to the package. The ability to ensure any tool does not plunge into the work piece on any operation you do as a simple setting in the toolpath dialogue would be a lot simpler than what im currently doing.

Cheers
Nate Smith
