Auto Path

This function creates automatically paths along the edges or walls of the part based on the settings.

Add to path list:

• Adds the displayed paths to the base path list.

Refresh from selected surfaces:

• Creates paths based on the selected surfaces and other settings.

Path type:

• Normal: Creates perpendicular paths on the edges of the selected surfaces.

• Swarf: Creates tangential paths on the adjacent surfaces of the selected surfaces provided that the adjacent surfaces are straight.

Flip vectors:

• If checked: Tool vectors will rotate by 180°.

Minimum area:

• Filters out the surface features having an area smaller than the defined minimum area in mm2

Swarf mode:

• Automatic: Tool vector alignment based on the side wall geometry.

Open

• Shortest distance: Tool vector alignment based on the shortest distance between the lower rail and upper rail.

Open

Project on upper rail:

• If checked: The resulting path is translated to the upper rail along the tool vectors.

Slider:

• Filters out the smallest or largest displayed paths.
