"The part is not fully enclosed in the stock" in CAM Assist

On this page

Some of the part sticks out of the stock. The Assessment stage shows this as the severe issue Part not fully contained by stock under Machinability issues. If you dismiss it and click Run CAM Assist, the run stops with this error:

The part is not fully enclosed in the stock

How to fix it

  1. In the Assessment stage, click Part not fully contained by stock. The faces outside the stock are highlighted on the model, and Affected setups lists the setups.
  2. Close CAM Assist.
  3. In your CAM package, check the stock for those setups:
    • The stock is big enough to cover the whole part.
    • The stock is positioned over the part, not offset from it.
    • The stock body is the one you meant to use, not another body in the file.
  4. Start CAM Assist again. The issue should be gone from the Assessment stage.

CAM Assist needs the part inside the stock to plan roughing. Dismissing the issue in the Assessment stage doesn't help: the run checks again.

Still seeing it?

If the stock covers the part and you still see this message, contact CloudNC support. Include the part file and your CAM Assist log files: see Find your CAM Assist log files.
