Use the Edit Within Region item to edit the tool axis of selected (partial) segments of a toolpath whilst preserving the toolpath contact positions. This enables you to:
- Manually redistribute toolpath points and calculate the tool axis in any region of the toolpath to smooth the machine tool movement at the start of each toolpath pass. The Point Distribution example illustrates how to apply this functionality to the start of each toolpath segment.
- Locally modify the specified tool axis to achieve extra clearance.
- Modify the whole toolpath when the job is moved from one machine tool to another, with different tool axis limits.
Click Toolpath Edit tab > Edit panel > Edit Within Region to display the Edit Toolpath Within Region dialog.
Initially, you must define the region you want to edit in the Select Regions tab. Then you define how you want to edit the tool axis in the Specify Changes tab.
