Contour islands first

This parameter defines if the islands are to be contoured milled before the actual machining operation.

When islands are detected, TopSolid'Cam will clear the tool to a plane. This means that when the machining operation will resume, the tool will plunge at a rapid feed near the islands.

It is recommended to contour mill the islands first in order to avoid plunging at a rapid feed rate within the material.
