Simulating the Corner finishing toolpath

1. Click View tab > Views panel > ISO > ISO 1 to reset the view.
2. Click Simulation tab > ViewMill panel > Off. It turns green and changes to On.
3. To see the differences between toolpaths more easily, click:
   • Simulation tab > ViewMill panel > Mode > Fixed direction.
   • Simulation tab > ViewMill panel > Shading > Rainbow.
4. In the Explorer, right-click the NC program Cavity_Mold, and select Simulate from Start from the context menu.

   The NC program is automatically selected in the Simulation tab > Simulation path panel > Entity list, and the Simulation Controls panel buttons are enabled.

5. Click Simulation tab > Simulation Controls panel > Play, and allow the simulation to run through to the end.

   

6. Zoom into the machined areas to view the cleaning up of the non-tangential surfaces.

   

   This compares the previous finishing toolpath which left some material in the corners.

   

7. Click Simulation tab > ViewMill panel > Exit ViewMill, and select Yes to stop the simulation. The On button changes to Off and the standard PowerMill graphics window is displayed.
