12. Additional parameter Page
The following parameters in this page are implemented to handle very exceptional cases. Please ignore
this page unless you are advised otherwise.
Read last operation flag reads the last operation in the operation manager and creates a 5 axis tool path
based on that. This “base operation” can be any 3 axis or 5 axis operation. In such a case 5axmsurf is
used to modify the tool angles or to do a gouge checking.
Create multiple pockets creates several pocket operations with tilted tool planes for each tool section
instead of one 5axmsurf operation.
Set Y axis machining limit restricts the angle output of SolidCAM calculation to a certain machine
limit.
Ignore all closed contours switch ignores all closed shapes in the geometry and machines only open
areas.
