Tangential

During the entry or exit macro the tool will be approximated along the toolpath to the drive surface. It is meant as a virtual surface which has similar geometry as the drive surface. The result is an even smoother crossover of the tool to the drive surface.

Fixed

With the fixed tool axis orientation the tool has the same orientation as in the endpoint of the macro or the first toolpath point on the drive surface.
