5-axis Machining
6.8 Start Point
Examples of the Start Point option are located in the Exercises\Start_Point folder.
The Start point option enables you to choose a new start point where the machining begins. Depending
on the geometry, 5axmsurf tries to find the nearest possible position next to your point.
With the Rotate by option you can relocate the start position for the following cut. The coordinates
will be calculated with the stepover and the angle you set.
Click on the Data button. In this window you can enter X, Y and Z coordinates for your new point or
select a point in your geometry.
