Indicate the length of the lead move if you selected the Line option for the Lead Type.
On the leadin or leadout moves, SURFCAM automatically finds possible gouges and prevents them.
If the value of Length causes a gouge, SURFCAM automatically trims the leadin or leadout move. The trimmed move is shown in a different color on the toolpath display. The different color will not appear in later backplots.
Moves that are trimmed less than half of the original length are shown in yellow. The leadin or leadout moves that are trimmed more than half of the original length are shown in red.
A message box is displayed if a leadin or leadout move of any length can cause a gouge. The message box tells you that there will not be a lead move. A small square box is put at the point of the discarded lead move in the toolpath drawing.
