...

The maximum distance in mm used to detect other bodies in the surrounding space. This is used with the Body contact, Bisector, Perpendicular, and Tangential tool orientation options.

...

Contact angle

The maximum angle between the surfaces that should be in contact. This is used with the Body contact, Bisector, Perpendicular, and Tangential tool orientation options.

...

Ball radius

Used with the Rolling ball option for tool orientation, this defines size of the ball.

Obstacle detection distance

Looks When enabled, this looks for obstacles in the path that are tangent to the weld path. Show obstacle. Distance in mm.

Looking for tangency to the base path.

If an obstacle is detected, the weld path will be trimmed so that it doesn’t go past the obstacle.

...

Auto join

When enabled, this will automatically join adjacent weld paths into a single path.

...

This technique creates a base path and then extends or shortens it by the specified distance.

...

sdf

fEntering negative Start offset and End offset values will shorten the path by that distance.

...

  • Mixed
    Combination of Line and Follow path.

  • Line
    The extension will follow a straight line from the nearest entity at the start or end.

  • Follow path
    The extension will be applied along the existing path for the offset distance.

At start / at end

Select the At start and At end options to extend or shorten a path, then enter Start offset and End offset distances (in mm).

You can always manually extend or shorten a weld path after it is applied by dragging the red and green pins at the ends of the path.

Push/pull

This option can be used to tilt the torch along the path at an angle, for push or pull welding.

...

Corner retract

Tacking / intermittent

Tack This option is used for tack or spot welding.
