Spline Output - Check to output the toolpath as a series of splines. Only available with a code generator supporting this option.
Tolerance - Specifies the maximum deviation of the generated toolpath from the selected, mathematically correct, surface.
Offset - Specifies the offset of the toolpath from all surfaces. The offset value may be negative but cannot be greater than the tool corner radius.
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.
Enable Down Mill - Check this box to enable the down milling option.
Down Mill Angle - Specifies the minimum angle (range between 0 - 90) at which a curve is to be considered for down milling. This ensures that curves are not split up at every slight change in angle.
Steep Angle - Specify an angle (range between 0 - 90) to cut all steep (near vertical) curves before any shallow curves that exist below them. This avoids the tool taking a cut around the base of a pocket before removing the material in the corners.
Clearance - Specifies the absolute height at which the tool can move freely in the XY plane without encountering any material or fixtures.
Level - Specifies the absolute height at which the cycle is to start.
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.
