When editing lead moves associated with a profile pass used to machine inside of a vector, the distance of a linear lead move or the radius of a circular arc move is considered.
When adjusting the position of a linear lead move, ArtCAM checks to ensure the distance of the lead move remains within the boundary of the profile pass. If the current distance of the lead move intersects with the profile pass, its distance is cropped so that it does not.
When adjusting the position of a circular arc lead move, ArtCAM checks to ensure the radius of the lead move remains within the boundary of the profile pass. If the current radius of the lead move intersects with the profile pass, the lead move is instead converted to a linear move with a distance that does not.
If you select Spiral, the angle, length and height boxes are unavailable.
If you select Zig-Zag, you can select and specify the following values:
Max Ramp Length (L) — Enter the maximum distance that you want the profiling tool to zig-zag across the material surface.
Min Ramp length (Lmin) — Enter the minimum distance that you want the profiling tool to zig-zag across the material surface.
Zig Start Height (S) — Enter the height at which the ramping moves start.
If you select Smooth, you can select and specify the following values:
Max Ramp Length (L) — Enter the maximum distance that you want the profiling tool to zig-zag across the material surface.
Min Ramp length (Lmin) — Enter the minimum distance that you want the profiling tool to zig-zag across the material surface.
