RoboDK CAM toolpath too long

#1
Good day,

I am comparing the roughing trajectory generated using RoboDK CAM Rough operation and RhinoCAM. On both cases, I use the same operation and the same part so i would assume I would have a similar number of points in the APT file but on RoboDK i get x4 times the points. 

/GOTO points comparison
RoboDK: 44523  
RhinoCAM: 8417

I have not found a way to reduce the number of points generated by RoboDK. I have looked for some "tolerance" or "min distance between point" setting that could help me reduce it.

The large number of points make the reachability validation take longer.

Also, is there a way to speed up the material removal simulation?

You can increase the tolerance of the accuracy to obtain toolpaths with less points.

You can adjust the point tolerance settings by following these steps:
Update the Tolerance value in the CAM settings. You can also select Advanced - Surface quality - Advanced.
