Creating toolpath panels

You can machine a design larger than the bed-size of your router, or larger than the sheets of material that are currently available. ArtCAM divides calculated toolpaths into sections so that you can machine separate sheets of material one by one, and then piece them all together, or machine a single sheet of material larger than the router's bed-size in sections, repositioning the material on the router bed until all sections have been machined.

Use the Panel Toolpaths panel to cut a large job into smaller sections, or panels.

Warning: To use toolpath panelling, the job origin must be set to the bottom left corner of the model.

To display the Panel Toolpaths panel, click the Panel Toolpaths button in the Toolpath Operations area of the Toolpaths panel. The following settings are available:
