Vortex machining of 2D features

This example shows how Vortex machines pockets, channels and narrow corners.

For more information on the general principles of Vortex machining, see Vortex and step cutting example.

Using the 2D_Features.dgk model in the Examples folder.

Create a Vortex toolpath:

For pockets, the tool spirals down into the pocket before using trochoidal paths over the full-width cuts.

On completion of the initial full-width cut, the trochoids are placed in the corners where the maximum tool engagement angle would otherwise be exceeded.
