Compensation - Controls how the CNC code will be output for the toolpath. Select between Pathtrace or Controller.

Mill Type - Select from None, Climb and Conventional.

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.

Offset - Specifies the toolpath offset. The offset can be positive, but if negative, the offset must be smaller than the tool radius.

Island Offset - Specifies the distance the tool is offset from any specified islands, in addition to the tool 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.

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".
