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?
