Description

Path FromShapes doesn't match the current Path workflow. For that reason it's moved to the experimental features.


This tool generates tool-paths from Path Object edges.

Tool-paths are uncompensated for tool radius. There is no Tool controller associated with the generated tool-paths .

Usage

All edges associated with the 3D Model selection will be included.

  1. Select edges by selecting the entire object from the 3D view or document tree, or by selecting individual edges, or by Faces from the 3D view.
  2. Press the From Shape button

The output tool-path is added outside the Path Job.

Options

All Options provided are available only from the FromShape.Property.Data view, and include:

  • Retraction Axis
  • Retraction Height
  • Resume Height
  • Feed Rate
  • Feed Rate Vertical
