Using the Flat Land Finishing Operation

  1. Click on the Flat Land Finishing Operation button.

  2. Digitise the wireframe (profile), features, surfaces or solid to be machined, then perform a Finish.

    (When a Feature or Solid is selected the Depth values are Associative. Wireframe and Surface use an Absolute Clearance and Level with an incremental Depth.)

  3. Digitise the boundary entities (if any are required), then perform a Finish.

  4. Complete the dialog box for the operation, then click OK.

EdgeCAM now generates the toolpaths for the finishing operation, including any moves to position the tool.

For surface geometry the operation allows blank level and depth fields. When no values are specified level and depth are taken from the model.
