2.5D Milling example part 9: Controlling the strategies

You can control the strategies used to manufacture the part from the properties dialog.

1. Open the Part View panel.
2. Right-click on hole1 under the Setup1 node, and select the Properties option.
3. In the Properties dialog:
   • Select the Strategy tab
   • Deselect the Spot Drill option
   • Click OK.
4. Click Home tab > Simulation panel > Sim mode > 3D to change the simulation type.
5. Click Play on the Simulation toolbar to start the simulation.

   There is no spot drilling for the first hole. If you look through the operations list, there is only one spotdrill operation listed. FeatureCAM optimizes the part manufacturing process, but you control the level of automatic optimization.

6. Click Stop to end the simulation.
