Path Profile/ru

Description
The Contour tool creates a simple external contour cut of complex 3D Part-based objects. The entire Job Model serves as the input for the Operation--regardless of whether any Body Geometry is selected when the Contour command is invoked. A Start point can be enabled from the Operation editor, using a location defined in the Property view->Start Points.



Usage

 * 1) Select a face on a Part-based object. Alternatively, also select a starting edge on that face.
 * 2) Press the  button
 * 3) Adjust the desired properties

Options

 * The Path Profile object is made to be part of a Path Job. To correctly configure the profiling, a tool table must be present in the project's machine object, and a Tool Change command must be placed before the profile.

Properties

 * : Make False, to prevent operation from generating code
 * : make True, if using the profile operation placement properties to transform toolpath in post processor
 * : The Tool controller specifies the index of the Tool to use

Depth Properties

 * : Starting Depth of Tool- first cut depth in Z
 * : Final Depth of Tool- lowest value in Z
 * : Incremental Step Down of Tool

Height Properties

 * : The above which Rapid motions are allowed.
 * : The height needed to clear clamps and obstructions

Operation Properties

 * : Defines the Tool controller used in the Operation
 * : Specifies a CW or CCW path for the External contour cut
 * : make True, if manually specifying a Start Point, then enter Start Points in the Property data Start Points field

Start Point Properties

 * : The start point of this path
 * : make True, if specifying a Start Point
 * : extra length of tool path before start of part edge
 * : length of straight segment of toolpath that comes in at angle to first part edge

End Point Properties

 * : make True, if specifying an End Point
 * : extra length of tool path after end of part edge
 * : length of straight segment of toolpath that comes in at angle to last part edge
 * : The end point of this path

Profile Properties

 * : Side of edge that tool should cut
 * : The direction that the toolpath should go around the part ClockWise CW or CounterClockWise CCW
 * : Extra value to stay away from final profile- good for roughing toolpath
 * : Tesselation value for tool paths made from beziers, bsplines, and ellipses
