Comments

• THE PROBLEM WAS SUBMITTED ON :
  CATIA VERSION 5 RELEASE 14.
  THIS PROBLEM IS NOT REPRODUCIBLE ON :
  CATIA VERSION 5 RELEASE 16 GA level AND
  ON V5R15SP03.
  Note that this problem is already fixed on
  R15 GA.
  Incident Diagnosis
  3AXIS MACHINING: Incomplete Spiral Milling
  Reason
  The problem comes from the slope area
  computation. This algorithm has completely
  changed in R15 GA to remove some
  limitations and bugs. It's not possible to
  report these important modifications in R14.
  In this scenario, the R14 by-pass consists in
  choosing Horizontal zone election "Manual"
  instead of "Automatic" and to define
  manually guide contours.
