Helical engage is not simulated correctly
Verifying a Unigraphics tool path with helical engage, where the tool axis is rotated between 0 and 90 degrees to ZM+, the helical engage does not stop at the endpoint of the helix.
Instead the whole number of revolutions is simulated causing a gauge.
We are using VC6.0.3 currently and I have already ordered VC6.0.4
Is this already known ???

Re: Helical engage is not simulated correctly
Same here. Posted code from UG and running VC 7.0.3 shows helix going too deep. :? Not by much, but it looks like a gouge in VC. This is with the tool axis at 90 degrees to Z. See attached pictures. First one from UG, second from VC.
