Use this cycle to machine a flat face normal to the tool axis, in a series of straight parallel cuts.
You digitise to define the boundary (periphery) of the face. You can digitise a loop of chained entities, or a continuous or a feature. (If you digitise a boss feature for example, the top face of the boss will be facemilled.) The cuts will be parallel to the longest edge of the boundary.
Nested boundaries are supported and a warning message will be displayed if you select an open boundary or overlapping boundaries.
