Mill contour path parameters dialogue box
Diameter
Here, the tool diameter, which was predefined depending on the current machine and the selected material, is displayed. If no suitable tool is available, a dialogue box for tool selection is opened.
Plunge depth
Here, you enter how deep the milling head should machine the material in the Z direction.
Offset
The value by which the contour is to be moved is entered here.
Lead-in path
Here, you activate the generation of a lead-in path. This allows you to define a starting point outside the contour for machining. The lead-in path is not possible with the Centred and Loop methods.
Lead-out path
Here, the generation of a lead-out path is activated. This allows you to define an end point outside the contour for machining. The lead-out path is not possible with the Centred and Loop methods.
Path correction
Here, the output is activated with path correction.
Milling method
Equidistant
With this option, the tool path is calculated offset by half the tool diameter from the contour. If the traverse path is set to Equidistant, path correction must not be activated.
Loop
With this option, a loop is added to the tool path at outer corners of the contour outline. It is not possible to generate a lead-in or lead-out path with this method.
Centred
This option sets the tool path exactly on the contour. When the traverse path is set to Centred, path correction must be activated. It is not possible to generate a lead-in or lead-out path with this method.
Rounded corner
This option automatically rounds corners.
