Summary0003675: Pocket operation fails to reach correct depth
DescriptionSometimes pocket operations do not reach the face's depth (see attached screenshots). This has been reported on the forums here: https://forum.freecadweb.org/viewtopic.php?f=15&t=28780
It seems to be system-specific, as some users with the same version of FreeCad do not seem to experience the issue. However, it is 100% reproducible on a freshly installed and updated Ubuntu 18.04.1 and FreeCad daily from the PPA repository.

Steps To Reproduce- Open the attached Latch.fcstd file
- In Fab / UpperBodyJob / Operations001, select the SpringClearance001 operation and mark for recompute, then recompute.
- Observe that the tool path does not reach the face
- Open the operation, check "Use outline" and click Ok
- Observe that the tool path *does* reach the face (but cuts through raised parts, so not a useful workaround)
- Open the operation, uncheck "Use outline" and click Ok
- Again, the tool path fails to reach the face

This problem can be tackled by a small change in the code of the"retry-section" in src/Mod/Path/App/Area.cpp

The principle is simple:
if your operation (building the wire around the section) doesn't succeed at level 0
- then why not try it at level 0.000002 mm
- and if that doesn't work, then try at 0.00001 mm
- and if that doesn't work, then try at 0.0001 mm
- and if that doesn't work, then try at 0.001 mm

The last level (one micron) is only needed for large curves with splines (diameter > 1000 mm)
Most of the problems are solved at level 0.00001 mm

It could be (the base off) a temporary solution in the hope that one finds a better one..

Thanks for responding. I'll mark it fixed for 0.19 even though we don't know what commit fixed it (which is how I prefer to close tickets).
