Added biased tool drag toolpath modifier #279
Conversation
Can you post a picture of this? |
The behavior I described above seems to occur when there is a mismatch between the tool radius of the circular approach and departure modifiers and the tool radius in the tool drag toolpath modifiers. I have resolved this by ensuring the tool radius parameters match However, when the tool radius for the circular approach and departure tool path modifiers are equal, some of the tool path waypoints are not translated sufficiently in the z direction from the part (see the below images). This is resulting in a failed motion plan. Current Tool Drag Orientation Toolpath Modifier Biased Tool Drag Orientation Toolpath Modifier |
I think there is always a risk that subsequent tool path modifiers can be misconfigured in a way that causes problems, but I think the individual pieces work as expected. To solve your particular problem, we could make a new tool path modifier plugin that combines the circular approach/departure with the tool drag modifier and also makes some checks that the tool and circle radius make sense |

Can you also add this new tool path modifier to the unit test? |
This PR adds the original tool drag toolpath modifier that was overwritten in #251
@marip8 can you verify that the toolpath modifier produces the intended behavior? While testing, it seems that for the same region the biased modifier splits the section into two arcs (approaches and departures) while the tool drag modifier only has one arc section.
