Use the New Feature - Strategies page of the New Feature wizard to specify the machining strategy for the feature.
After you have created the feature, you can edit these options in the Strategy tab of the Feature Properties dialog.
Below centerline — Enable this option to make the tool work on the negative X side of the spindle centerline.
Rough pass — Enable this option to add a Rough operation to the feature.
Feed dir — This is the direction that the tool feeds for the operation. For Turn and Bore features, select Toward spindle or Toward face. For Face and Backface features, select Positive or Negative to specify the direction along the X axis. Set this separately for the Rough, Semi-finish, and Finish operations.
Plunge center first — For Groove features, if this option is selected, the straight portion (marked red in the diagram) of the Groove is roughed first and then the angled portions (marked yellow) are roughed separately:
Output dwell on rough — Select this option to have a Dwell amount on the rough operation of a Groove feature.
Finish pass — Enable this option to add a Finish operation to the feature. When this option is deselected, the rough pass is still machined as if the finish pass were included. The Finish allowance is left on the roughing pass, and the Bottom finish allowance is left on the roughing pass when Finish bottom is selected, even though the check box is unavailable.
