    It's just not working for me. I follow the directions in the help file, set a drill point at the depth of the pocket I'm roughing, drill it 1st to full diameter depth
    The help file says "specify" a drill point for this function, but how do you "specify" it? It seems like edgecam just decides wether theres a point there or not.

    I can never get anything but a ramp or a helix approach to work when Im roughing a pocket
    why isn't there more control over where the ramp or helix enters the material at?
    Why cant I plunge to depth outside of an open pocket when theres no need for a ramp, a helix, or a pre-drilled hole?

    Woah slow down, explain what your trying to do.
    Are you having trouble with your Edgecam software? What kind of machine and material are you using? Useualy the tip of the drill has an angle on it to fit the application of its use. you may try asking your Edgecam sales rep for help.

    Good Luck!
