Use the Corner Multi-Pencil Finishing strategy to create a multiple-trace toolpath by offsetting the equivalent single pencil finishing toolpath. This creates a smooth toolpath with a fixed width offset.
This strategy is useful for cleaning up corners that occur between non-tangential surfaces using multiple traces.
Note: The toolpath follows the trace lines.
There are several pages associated with the Corner Multi-Pencil Finishing strategy.
- Corner multi-pencil finishing — The main page used to define a multi-pencil toolpath.
- High speed — Settings to create arcs in internal corners to eliminate sudden changes in tool direction which is essential for high speed machining.
- Corner detection — The settings to determine the location and extent of the toolpath.
- Automatic verification — Settings to automatically verify the toolpath when calculating it.
The remaining pages are common toolpath strategy pages.
