Parameters

Finish

• Stepover - defines the distance between each pass in X and Y, or the XY plane.
  
  
  
  
• Allowance XYZ - is the amount of material left on the entire model (XYZ).
  
  

• Machining Tolerance - the amount of variation allowed for creating the toolpath for the feature. The accuracy of the toolpath does not exceed this range.
  
  
• Cut Holes - extends the toolpath into any holes that may be present in the surface.
  
  
• Ignore Holes - does not place the toolpath into any holes and treats the surface as if it is continuous and unbroken.

Depth Options

• Top of Job
  
  - sets the highest Z location for toolpath as the top of stock.
  
  - allow you to specify the highest Z location for toolpath in this operation. Select the check box and type a value to define a plane for the top of job.
  
  
  • Pick - hides the Wizard to allow you to set the Top of Job by selecting geometry whose height, in relation to the machine setup, is at the desired value.
    
    
• Bottom of Job
  
  - sets the lowest Z location for toolpath as the bottom of stock.
  
  - allows you to specify the lowest Z location for toolpath in this operation. Select the check box and type a value to define a plane for the bottom of job.
  
  
  • Pick - hides the Wizard to allow you to set the Top of Job by selecting geometry whose height, in relation to the machine setup, is at the desired value.

Note: The Bottom of Job and Top of Job values are in reference to the machining origin (Machine Setup coordinate) of the part.

Bounds

• Part Depth - the toolpath follows the selected surfaces cutting the full Z-axis depth in a single pass.
  
  
• Step Down - sets a maximum Z-axis depth to cut for each pass to the bottom of the selected surfaces.
