Tilted through point


With this option, the tool is tilted through the specified point. The tool axis direction is defined by a vector from the contact point on the drive surface to the specified point.

Click Pick point to define the direction point on the solid model.

Angles

SolidCAM enables you to define an additional tilting from the calculated vector through the specified point towards the chosen tilt axis.

Fixed tilt angle

This parameter defines the angle of the additional tool tilting from the vector through the defined point towards the tilt axis.

Tilted to

This option enables you to define the tilt axis. SolidCAM enables you to choose one of the Coordinate System axes (X, Y or Z) or define the tilt axis by a line. When the Line option is chosen, click Data to pick the start and end points of the tilt axis line directly on the solid model.

Point tilt type

This option enables you to determine the direction from where the fixed tilt angle is measured: from the axis towards the point or from the point towards the axis.
