About Conventional and Climb Milling

You can select between conventional milling and climb milling for the Adaptive Clearing strategy. Climb milling is the default.

The cutting passes for the Adaptive Clearing strategy are directly dependent on the selected direction of the cuts. This means that changing the direction forces recalculation of the entire toolpath, as opposed to only requiring re-linking of the already calculated passes. Re-linking is supported for the other milling strategies when changing milling direction.
