Specifies the angle of the plunge move. If Plunge Type is Ramp, this is the angle of the ramp move in the XY plane. If Plunge Type is Helical, this is the angle of a line from the tool path point to the center of the helix, labeled "a" in the following illustration.
The pull-down next to the Angle setting may be set to Relative, Absolute or Auto.
Relative
The angle is measured relative to the toolpath.
Absolute
The angle is measured in the cut view.
Auto
Auto, which is only available in a contour cycle, directs SURFCAM to calculate the appropriate angle based on the chained profile.
