UG CLS Helical statement

Sinds Unigraphics NX3 a new Circle syntax was introduced to support
helical moves. The statement looks like:
CIRCLE/-358.42360,621.415074,211.518785,-0.9981348,0.0610485,0.0000000,6.462500,0.020000,0.500000,22.000000,0.000000,TIMES,2
GOTO/-358.44425,621.077484,217.972429

Vericut does not understand or ignores the word TIMES, so instead of
making the 2 circulair moves it makes one and then drops to the next
GOTO.

Has anyone else run into this? Is this solvable?

Re: UG CLS Helical statement

I have found bad output from catia on circular blocks

I have seen it make errors with GF/ CI, ON , 2ND INTERSECTIONS OF , LINE

to go to work with the Vericut you have, I recomend point to point output until it gets resolved
