Divide Toolpath by Angle

This tab contains the following:

Angle — This is the limiting slope measured from the XY plane.

Remove Segments Smaller Than — Removes segments that are smaller in length than the figure entered here. The higher the value, the smaller the fragmentation. This value should normally be set to a similar value to the machining tolerance.

Save — This drop-down list has three options:

• Steep
• Shallow
• Both:

  This example shows the effects of dividing a toolpath by angle.

  

  On the Angle tab of the Divide Toolpath dialog:

  1. Enter an Angle of 30.
  2. Select a Save of Both.
  3. Click Apply. The two new toolpaths have the same name as the original but have _1 and _2 appended to the original name:
  • _1 contains the steep portion:
    
    
  • _2 contains the shallow portion:
