This topic explains the Parameters available when the Extend Cut Move Command Mode, which allows you to extend the toolpath tangentially by a specified distance, is used. As explained in the Edit Toolpath Dialog topic, most of the Edit Toolpath dialog remains the same, no matter which Command Mode is being used. It is the Parameters of the Extend Cut Move Command Mode this topic focuses on, although, the Command Mode group, Selected Toolpath Elements group and the Animation group can still be revisited in this topic by expanding the drop down hot spots of the same name.
To work through an example utilizing this function, see the Edit Toolpath Example - Extend Cut Move.
Extension
This field will allow you to set the amount
of extension on the selected toolpath elements. The value is set by clicking
the toggle button, to set the value to a percentage of the tool or an
absolute increment, and then entering a value.
% - With the toggle on this setting, the distance value is set to a percentage of the tool diameter.
Absolute
- With the toggle on this setting, the distance value is set
to an absolute increment.
