Select a filter. You can run the filter during post processing or click the Filter Only button.

ArcFltr
Use the ArcFltr option to convert a sequence of linear moves, which approximately form an arc, to one arc move.
NURBFltr
NurbFltr converts line cutting instructions to NURB spline cutting instructions.
ArcFltrMx
The ArcFltrMx filter analyzes linear 5 axis moves in the NC output and translates them into separate XY and UV arc moves if they lie within a specified tolerance.
This utility is specifically useful for 4 axis wire EDM machines and 5 axis controls that support arc interpolation. It is available on SURFCAM 4 Axis and above.
ZRangeFltr
The Z Range Filter is a SURFCAM add-on product.
Use the Z Range Filter in the NC Operations Manager to create the layered plates that are used in the construction of patterns. This process is normally used to make the patterns for larger parts.
