Use the options in the Drive Vector area to specify how you want to control the direction of the cut made by your selected tool:
- Straight Line — Machine in one direction only.
- Angle — Specify the angle at which you want to machine.
- Minimum Stepover — Specify the minimum stepover between successive passes perpendicular to the angle.
- Maximum Stepover — Specify the maximum stepover between successive passes perpendicular to the angle.
- Minimum Spacing — Specify the minimum distance between each repeat of the pattern along the direction of the angle.
- Maximum Spacing — Specify the maximum distance between each repeat of the pattern along the direction of the angle.
- Alternate Cut Direction — If selected, the direction of the cut for each successive pass is alternated. If deselected, each pass cuts generally from left to right.
- Selected Vector — Use a specific vector to control the direction.
- Set As Drive Vector — Select the open, ungrouped vector that you want to use, then click Set As Depth Profile.
- Angle — Specify the angle at which you want to machine.
- Minimum Stepover — Specify the minimum stepover between successive passes perpendicular to the angle.
- Maximum Stepover — Specify the maximum stepover between successive passes perpendicular to the angle.
- Minimum Spacing — Specify the minimum distance between each repeat of the pattern along the direction of the angle.
- Maximum Spacing — Specify the maximum distance between each repeat of the pattern along the direction of the angle.
- Alternate Cut Direction — If selected, the direction of the cut for each successive pass is alternated. If deselected, each pass cuts generally from left to right.
