LOL. Yeah, like I said, I miss Esprit's roughing a lot. You shouldn't have to come up with crappy workarounds like using complete finishing instead of roughing when you are trying to get efficient toolpath.
I wish the OpenMind folks would pay attention to this stuff instead of dumping all their resources into controlling Hermles over a VPN. They are so worried about future stuff that they skipped some of the basics...
For the OP though, I wouldn't worry too much about it. I use volumill roughing on every single part. I have it setup with formulas, and it takes about 4 clicks. It's not very efficient roughing, but it works just fine. And for us rouging is typically less than 10% of cycle time, so it's not the end of the world if it leaves some cycle time on the table. We make it back up with increased throughput and ease of use.
i was reassured that this will be taken care of... its hard for me to believe i'm the only/first person to bring up those issues though, figured something simple like this would have been taken care of long time ago, but we'll see.
