Enter / exit at midpoint
On a closed path, this moves the entry / exit point to the midpoint of the first segment of the toolpath.
...
Closed loop overlap
On a closed path, this extends the start and end of the path an equal distance to cause an overlap. Only positive values are permitted.
...
Use entry parameters for exit
The exit path will be generated based on entry parameters.
Entry and exit parameters
These parameters can be applied to entry or exit paths.
Type
Defines entry or exit trajectory.
Perpendicular line
Entry or exit will be a line perpendicular to the base toolpath at the intersection point of the entry / exit and toolpath.
Tangent line
Entry or exit will be a line tangent to the base toolpath at the intersection point of the entry / exit and toolpath. This is useful for entry or exit on a convex curved toolpath or where the entry or exit should be aligned with the toolpath.
Arc
Entry or exit will be an arc motion, tangent to the base toolpath at the intersection point of the entry / exit and toolpath. Use Arc radius and Arc sweep angle to control size of the arc.
Line and arc
Arc entry or exit with linear extension added.
Side
Entry and exit motions can be placed on the right or left side of a path. You can use this setting to correct situations where entry or exit motions are placed on the wrong side of a path.
...
Height / ramp
Create an incline on an entry or exit motion. Ramp height is the offset distance from the original start point of the entry or exit, along the approach vector.
