Parallel angle

The value can be anywhere from -360 to 360 degrees, the default is 0.0. A positive value rotates counter-clockwise from the principle axis, and a negative value rotates clockwise from the axis.

X parallel, Parallel angle 20

Y parallel, Parallel angle 20

  • Setting the angle to 90 on an X-parallel operation causes it to effectively become a Y-parallel operation.
  • Setting the angle to 180 causes the toolpaths to be cut from the opposite side of the part. For example, an X-parallel operation with the angle set to 0 starts at the minimum Y coordinate. With the angle set to 180, the toolpaths start at the maximum Y coordinate.
