We are using V4 & V5 for programming 3D parts. Believe me when I
say V5 processes at least 4 times faster for all apps, including
replays. One trick you may want to try with V4 roughing routines is
to set your machining tolerance at .1 metric, instead of the .025
metric model tolerance. This will significantly increase the
response time, especialy in local cavity roughing. this parameter
is found on the options icon main panel, the second argument down
from the top. Be sure to reset this value before finishing
operations.
