Use the Corner detection page to determine the location of the toolpath.
Tool ID — Select the tool used to create the previous toolpath. PartMaker uses this tool to determine the extents of the toolpath. You can enter the ID (for example T021) or click the Tool button alongside this field to display the Select Tool dialog, where you can select an existing tool or create a new one.
Overlap — Enter the distance by which the toolpath extends beyond the borders of the unmachined region.
Detection limit — Enter an angle so that PartMaker machines only corners that are sharper than this angle. 165
is the default value. This works well for most corners. However there are instances where you need to increase this value to detect the corner regions in which you are interested.

Remove deep cuts — Select to remove segments of the toolpath with a large depth of cut.
