Getting started with Advanced Surface Machining (PartMaker)

Use the following dialogs to work with Advanced Surface Machining:

  • Surfacing Defaults dialog — Use this dialog to set default parameters for surface machining strategies and default colors for displaying toolpath moves.
  • Surface Group Parameters dialog — Use this dialog to create a surface group and select the machining strategies required. From this dialog you can also access the:
    • Define Block dialog — Use this dialog to specify the maximum and minimum limits within which machining for the surface group can occur.
    • Safe Area dialog — Use this dialog to specify a safe area for the surface group.
  • Strategy dialogs — Use the Strategy dialogs to specify parameters that are specific to the selected surface group.
  • Curve Properties dialog — Use this dialog to change the properties of a profile curve for a surface machining group. For example, to specify a curve for a projection (pattern) operation for Pattern finishing.
