Links example

The following example demonstrates creating arc links that are restricted to shallow regions of the model.

1. Click Home tab > Setup panel > Toolpath Connections to display the Toolpath connections dialog.
2. Click the Links tab.
3. Select Circular arc from the 1st choice list.
4. Select Surface slope from the constraint list.
5. Select from the list.
6. Enter a value of 20.
7. Click Apply links.

In this example circular arc links are created in areas where the surface slope at either end of the link does not reach a value greater than 20 degrees. Since no constraints were applied to the 2nd choice link, any links that are created in areas where the surface slope is greater than 20 degrees are created as 2nd choice links, unless they gouge, in which case they are created as Default links.
