Use the texture toolpath to machine a texture across the whole surface, or a specific area, of your model using only the geometry and machining parameters of a tool chosen from the Tool Database.
The texture shown below is created using only a Ball Nose 6 mm tool:
Click the
Create Texture Toolpath
button on the
Toolpaths panel to display the
Texture Toolpaths panel. Using the
Texture Toolpath panel, you can use vector artwork to:
- create a repeated pattern;
- control the shape of the cut; and
- control the direction of the cut.
After you have calculated the toolpath, you can simulate it.
