Sorting
The Sorting button displays the Sorting options for Roughing dialog box that enables you to define the sorting of the tool path passes.
This option is available only in the Advanced mode.
Reverse order of passes/tool path
When this check box is not selected, the tool path passes are performed in the default order and in the direction of the geometry. |
 |
When the check box is selected and the Passes option is chosen from the list, the tool path passes are performed in the reversed order. |
 |
When the check box is selected and the Complete tool path option is chosen from the list, the tool path passes are performed in the reversed order and direction. |
 |
Connect slices by shortest distance
When this check box is not selected, the connection between tool path slices is performed through the Clearance level: after a certain slice has been machined, the tool goes up to the Clearance level and then descends to machine the next slice. |
 |
When this check box is selected, the tool path slices are connected by lines automatically calculated by SolidCAM, so that the distance between the end of one slice and the start of the next one is minimal. |
