Profile Cycle

Use these commands for driving the tool on or around a profile:

2D Profile (superseded)
Profiling (Mill Cycles menu) this cycle also has 3D (surface and solid) capabilities. We recommend you use this cycle rather than the 2D Profile cycle, as it has more features and a user interface that is consistent with other recent cycles.
Relative (Move menu) for precise tool positioning relative to the geometry.

Profile (Operation menu) to use several commands together in one operation.

Please note that a new Profile operation was introduced in EdgeCAM version 7.75. The previous Profile operation is still available to existing parts and will be used if the operation is edited or regenerated. To use the new method on an existing part, delete the old operation and re-apply the new operation.

(See Operational Programming in Milling for details of using operations.)

Make sure you have read the methods for Chaining and Branching.

Note - When merging sequences in multiplane milling the Profile cycle is liable to corruption. To ensure that inserting and merging function correctly, profiles must be created in a defined view, not in "dynamic".
