Creating a toolpath template

You can create a template from any toolpaths that you have either created or calculated.

The toolpath template file saves the original toolpath-creation settings. The toolpath settings saved within the template can be applied to vector artwork of a model to machine all or part of the model.

To create a toolpath template:

  1. Ensure only the toolpaths you want to save as a template are listed under the Toolpaths item in the Project Tree. The toolpaths can be created or calculated.
    Tip: Created toolpaths are listed in red text; calculated toolpaths are listed in black text.
  2. In the Toolpath Operations area of the Toolpaths panel, click the Save Toolpath As Template button to display the Save Toolpath Template dialog.
  3. Select the folder in which you want to save the toolpath template.
  4. In the File name box, enter a name for the toolpath template.
  5. Click Save to close the dialog and save the toolpath template.

The toolpath template can now be loaded as required to machine all or part of a model.
