Entry / exit

These properties apply to both entry and exit.

Enter / exit at midpoint

Closed loop overlap

Use entry parameters for exit

Entry

Type

Defines lead-in geometry.

  • Perpendicular line
    Entry will be a line perpendicular to the next entity. For linear leads on arc entities, this will be the line perpendicular to the tangent line of the arc.

  • Tangent line
    Entry will be a line tangent to the next entity on the profile. Useful in cases where lead-in is on a convex profile. Also good for exteriors?

  • Arc
    Entry will be an arc motion, tangent to the . Use Arc radius and Arc sweep angle to control size of the lead-in.

  • Line and arc
    Arc lead-in with linear extension at start of lead-in.

Side

Equivalent to ‘flip leads’. Can be used to correct situations where leads are placed on the wrong side of a profile.

Height / ramp

Arc radius

Arc sweep angle

Line length

Used with linear lead-ins, defines length in mm of entry motion.

Extend / shorten path

Normalize direction

Fanning distance

Exit

Use the Apply button as you edit leads to see changes.

entry, exit, lead-in, lead-out

Does RM distinguish between interior and exterior profiles for leads?
