Enable this option to perform the feature's operations using canned cycles. You must use a post that has support for roughing and finishing canned cycles.
Canned cycles can be generated in the NC code for nearly every turned feature. To generate these macros, your post processor must support them, and you must turn this function on for the post and for some features you must also activate the canned cycles on the feature level.
The post determines whether drilling operations are computed in the post or output as g-codes. This includes spotdrilling, drilling, bore, ream and tapping operations.
You can not control the output of canned cycles on an individual feature basis.
Enable canned cycles for Turn and Bore features in the post, and enable Use canned cycle on the Strategy tab of the Feature Properties dialog. Also select Reuse path in canned cycle if you want to output the path geometry only once for both roughing and finishing. You can also enable this by default in the Machining Attributes dialog.
Enable canned cycles for Groove features in the post, and enable Use canned cycle on the Strategy tab of the Feature Properties dialog. Also select Reuse path in canned cycle if you want to output the path geometry only once for both roughing and finishing. You can also enable this by default in the Machining Attributes dialog.
Thread features always use canned cycles.
