Flat inclination

Use the Flat inclination page to machine inclined flat areas in all orientations and confine the toolpath to an angular range.

Machine inclined flats — Select to machine flat areas in all orientations. If deselected, only flat areas that are perpendicular to the tool orientation are machined.

Workplane — Select a workplane from which the inclined flat angles are calculated from.

Elevation angle limits — Lets you confine the toolpath within an angular range. Flat areas with an incline less than the Start angle and an incline higher than the End angle are not included in the toolpath calculation. The angles from 0 degrees to 90 degrees relate to inclined flats that have a positive draft angle, and the angles from 0 degrees to -90 degrees relate to inclined flats that have a negative draft angle.
