FAQ

What are the most common CNC geometry mistakes in XyzPilot?

The most common mistakes are: wrong selector axis, deleting points too early, not trimming after fillets, and ignoring the canvas preview warning.

Full Answer

MistakeHow to Avoid
Using XLarge when both intersections have the same XUse YLarge/YSmall when solutions differ in Y, not X
Deleting a point before geometry built from it is completeOnly delete points after all product geometry is baked
Not trimming after creating fillet arcsAlways trim corners after creating fillets
Trimming before all fillets are createdCreate all fillets first, then trim all corners
Assuming the canvas preview is the final resultAlways verify position after committing

XyzPilot Example

Wrong selector axis: Vertical line L0 at X=10, Circle C0 centre(0,0) r=20 Both intersections at X=10 — they differ in Y WRONG: Point/XLarge, Intof, L0, C0 RIGHT: Point/YLarge, Intof, L0, C0 → (10, 17.32)
