Is there an existing issue for this?

Problem description

In CAM I have found that Tags often (always?) don't appear when ramp angle set at 75 degrees. I changed to 90 degrees and problem fixed. In my case I had increased to 10 tags to see if that was a problem. I ended up with 2 vertical on left side and 2 vertical on right side. The 6 horizontal ones were missing

Can you provide a demo file? Please also test with the stable 1.0 version as RC2 had some bugs. If possible, also check out the file in the dev build: https://github.com/FreeCAD/FreeCAD-Bundle/releases/tag/weekly-builds

It’s the job Outer profile with tags 4mmEM

If you see the dressup Tag and change the angle to 75 deg. You will see some of the tags don’t appear in the simulation.

@Lin1Jay1 please click on https://github.com/FreeCAD/FreeCAD/issues/18555 and respond on github. When replying via email, all attachments are dropped.

[Lin1Jay1]

Do you still need the demo file?

[maxwxyz]

yes please

[Lin1Jay1]

I tied to attach a .FCStd file and it says we don't support this file type. So I have no idea what you want or how to send it to you.

[maxwxyz]

Zip it and drag the .ZIP file in here.

[Lin1Jay1]

Not zipped but sent

@Lin1Jay1 we didn't receive the attachment because when you respond via email to a github issue, it strips any attachments and just leaves the text.

1. Please click on https://github.com/FreeCAD/FreeCAD/issues/18555
2. Zip up your attachment file or manually append a .zip extension to the file
3. Drag-drop it into the github textbox

Result: the zip will auto-attach to this ticket.

Tray12x18-Missing Tags.zip I have decided to abandon my attempt to use FreeCAD for CAM toolpaths. I’m getting
and I have no idea how to fix this problem. My latest download of RC04 is now completely non-functional re: being able to edit tool bit dimensions. Previously I wasted a day trying to create tool paths using 1.0.0. When I went back to RC02 I had no problem creating TPs in minutes. When I went back to RC02 all my tool bits were gone. I've spent a lot of time on this and I was making good progress until FC became non-functional. Tray-BirdsEye 12.15.24.pdf I had all the TPs created for the frame and the insert. I was just in the process of doing test cuts and optimizing the gcode when my FreeCAD became unusable. I'm going to have to revert back to Swx 2005 and Carveco Maker I guess. Still willing to respond to anything related to my inquiry. I'd really like to help but I'm just stuck and I have projects I need gcode for. Jay H

Totally understand. Sorry to hear that you're encountering these issues.

Still willing to respond to anything related to my inquiry.

Thanks. That is helpful. I'm keeping this ticket open since it's still an issue for you and someone else will most likely run into this.

Fine with me.  I've given up on Free CAD for CNC.  Will try again sometime in future.  Using Carveco and simplifies my life.

@sliptonic Should it stay open considering that the OP is not interested in it anymore?

[luzpaz]

OP was using 1.0.0RC2 and uploaded example files. Can a CAM user try to reproduce ?
