Use the Feature Finishing strategy to perform finishing or semi-finishing passes on the walls and flats of pocket and boss features.
There are several pages associated with the Feature Finishing strategy:
- Feature finishing — The main page used to specify a feature finishing toolpath.
- Raster — Settings to define a raster finishing style. This page is available when you select a Style of Raster on the main page.
- Offset — Settings to define offset finishing styles. This page is available when you select a Style of Offset model or Offset all on the main page.
- Wall cut distances — Settings to control multiple passes around the walls of features.
- Flat cut distances — Settings to control multiple passes over the flats of features.
- Step cutting — Settings to define in-line rest finishing. This minimises terracing when creating finishing toolpaths with a large stepdown. This is available when you select a Stepdown of Automatic.
- Unsafe segment removal — Settings to remove small toolpath segments.
- High speed — Settings to control smoothing options to avoid sharp changes in tool direction when high speed machining. This page is only available for offset styles.
- Order — Settings to control the order of machining.
- Approach — Settings to control how the tool approaches the path.
- Automatic verification — Settings to automatically verify toolpaths on creation.
The remaining pages are common toolpath strategy pages.
