Milling/Drilling auto
The Milling/Drilling auto function generates an automatic milling operation with disposal (if available) for the contour of the current geometry and planned holes. The technology is dependent on sheet material and thickness.
Automatically generate milling operations for contours and holes
- You have opened a CAD model.
- Under Milling > Auto > Milling/Drilling auto, click the Milling/Drilling auto button.
- The Contour machining parameters dialogue box opens. See also Contour machining parameters dialogue box.
- Make your desired settings and click OK.
- The Lead-in path definition dialogue box opens. See also Lead-in definition dialogue box.
- Make your desired settings and click OK.
- If you have selected a processing without lead-in path and lead-out path: The milling operation is generated accordingly and the function is ended.
- If you have selected a processing with lead-in path and/or lead-out path: The Lead-in definition and/or Lead-out definition dialogue boxes open one after another. See also Lead-in definition dialogue box and Lead-out definition dialogue box. Proceed to the next step.
- Make your desired settings and click OK.
- If you have defined lead-in and/or lead-out paths, the milling operation is generated accordingly.
- Planned holes for which no suitable tool exists remain without machining.
