Stepover type — This controls the moves between toolpaths.
Use lead-in/out — This controls when lead-in/out moves are applied.
Normal to surface — If you select Normal to surface, the lead in/out moves are performed with respect to the surface normal. If you deselect it, the moves are performed in the plane of the toolpath.
Lead moves are either performed as arcs or linear moves by selecting one of the following:
Use arc ramp-in/out
If you select Use arc ramp in/out, the following parameters are used to control the ramping on and off the part feature:
|
|
|
-
Ramp-in angle - The angle of the ramp in move.
-
Ramp diameter - The diameter of the ramp move.
-
Ramp-out angle - The angle of the ramp out move.
Use linear lead-in/out
If you select Use linear lead-in/out, the following parameters control the move off the feature:
- Lead-in angle - Angle measured away from the toolpath for the lead-in move. Note this angle can be negative.
- Lead-out angle - Angle measured away from the toolpath for the lead-out move. This angle can be negative.
- Lead-in length - Length of the linear lead-in length.
- Lead-out length - Length of the linear lead-out length.
