New Process Creation - Path Type
Unidirectional
This creates a tool path parallel to the specied axis.
The path is created in such a way that either only the
outbound movement or only the return movement lie
along the axis.
Scan Lines
This creates a tool path parallel to the specied axis.
The path is created in such a way that the outbound
movement and return movement lie along the axis.
Contour Lines
This creates a tool path that lies along the
contour lines when you’re cutting the model
into rings on the XY plane.
This is enabled for roughing and nishing.
Note, however, that this setting cannot be
made when you are performing cylindrical
cutting.
In the nishing process, you can set options for
the contour-line nishing path.
Selecting Optimized Pitch reduces the cutting-
in amount for areas that have a gentle slope.
When paths for areas other than the outline
are not needed, select Outline Only. When this
selection is cleared, scan-line tool paths are
created on the at areas of the model and on
the bottom of the modeling form.
