10.1 CAM Programming
Job Setup: Advanced tab
Advanced tab Data Entries
This allows the toolpath to rotated, scaled, or mirrored.
Rotation Angle
Enter rotation angle.
X Center
Enter the center of rotation in X axis.
Y Center
Enter the center of rotation in Y axis.
Rotation Action - Choose None, Use, or Off.
None: Rotation Action parameter is ignored. Any previously defined
Rotation Action remains active.
Use: Rotates tool paths by angle defined in the Rotation Angle field
and centers the rotation on the X Center and Y Center fields.
Off: Turns off any previously defined Rotation Action.
Mirror X
Select to activate mirroring for the X axis.
Mirror Y
Select to activate mirroring for the Y axis.
Mirror Z
Select to activate mirroring for the Z axis.
Mirror Action - Choose None, Use, or Off.
None: Mirror Action parameter is ignored. Any previously defined
Mirror Action remains active.
Use: Turns on Mirroring on the axes checked in the Mirror X, Mirror
Y and Mirror Z fields.
Off: Turns off any previously defined Mirror Action.
Scale Factor X
Enter the scaling factor for X axis.
Scale Factor Y
Enter the scaling factor for Y axis.
Scale Factor Z
Enter the scaling factor for Z axis.
