6.2.7 Parallel to surface
This option is similar to the Parallel to curve option. SolidCAM will align the cut direction along a
leading curve. In contrast to the Parallel to curve option where the leading curve was directly selected
on the model, the Parallel to surface option enables you to choose the surface adjacent to the drive
surface. The common boundary of this surface and the drive surface will be used as the leading
curve.
