Creating a Groove feature

To create a Groove feature:

1. Fare clic sul passo Feature nel pannello Passi.
2. Click Groove, then click Next to open the New Feature - Curves page.
3. Click Next to open the New Feature - Location page.
4. Click Next to open the New Feature - Dimensions page.

   Se un campo dimensione ha un'etichetta blu, è possibile fare clic e "scegliere" la dimensione dagli oggetti all'interno della finestra grafica.

5. Select whether your groove is a Face, or Inside/Outside groove.

   Faccia — Imposta l'utensile per gola in modo che tagli nel piano XY del Setup attuale.

   Interno/Esterno — Imposta la gola in modo che si trovi sulla parte interna o esterna di una curva chiusa.

6. If you are creating a Face groove:
   1. If your groove is a simple groove, select Simple. Simple designates the groove to be cut with a single pass along the curve with a tool diameter equal to the Width of the groove.

      Larghezza — Inserire la larghezza della feature Gola.

   2. Optionally select Through to change the modeling of the groove if it helps you display your part better. Through controls the graphical representation of the part. If Through is set, the Curve Groove is modelled with a bottom.
   3. Optionally enter a Bottom Radius.
   4. For a non-simple groove, optionally enter a Chamfer, which sets the depth of a 45 chamfer cut at the top edge of the feature.
7. If you are creating an Inside/Outside groove:
   1. If the curve is at the bottom of the groove, select the Curve at bottom option.

      Profondità — Inserire la profondità della feature gola.

      Larghezza — Inserire la larghezza della feature Gola.

   2. Click Next to open the New Feature - Machining Side and preview the groove in the Graphics window.
   3. An outside groove uses the curve as the outside of the groove. An inside groove uses the curve as the inside of the groove. Click the Switch machining side button to toggle between the two types of grooves.
8. Click Next to open the New Feature - Strategies page.
