If this attribute is not set the start point is calculated automatically.
You can use a curve to specify multiple start points.
This example shows how the Start point interacts with the Plunge point and Retract point:
|
|
Plunge point — If the tool retracts after the rough pass, it will plunge at the plunge point. If the tool feeds to the start of the finish pass, it goes straight to the start point. |
|
|
Start point — This point is the contact point of the tool with the finish pass. The tool ramps onto the feature at this point. |
|
|
Retract point — After ramping off the part, the tool moves to the retract point before withdrawing from the feature. |
