Mill Type - Choose either Climb or Conventional milling.
Feedrate - Specifies the rate of movement in the workplane.
Plunge Feed - Specifies the rate of movement in the direction of the tool axis.
Speed - Specifies the tool spindle speed.
% Stepover - Specifies the tool stepover distance between each pass as a percentage of the tool diameter.
Cusp Height - Specifies the height of the uncut material between each pass.
Offset - Specifies an offset, normal to the surface. Any negative offset may not be greater than the tool's corner radius, as this would generate an incorrect toolpath.
Cut Increment - Specifies the maximum depth of cut on each pass. If specified, one or more roughing passes are generated before the final finish pass. Note that Cut Increment and Maximum Height cannot both be specified.
Angle - Specifies the angle of the cycle relative to the X axis.
Tolerance - Specifies the maximum deviation of the generated toolpath from the selected surface.
Feature Name - Enter a name here to allow labelling of digitised information for this cycle to enable "pickup" of this information in another (similar) cycle.
Constant Cut - Check to force the cutter to move in the same direction along each pass, with a link move at the Retract plane between each pass.
Cut by Region - Check to constrain the cycle to a region defined by boundary entities. The tool machines each region in sequence. If Cut by Region is unchecked, the tool performs each pass all the way across the surface, lifting to the Retract height between regions.
