Lead in options

None

The tool approaches/retreats to the milling level exactly adjacent to the start point of the material.

Normal

The tool approaches/retreats the material from a point normal to the profile. The length of the normal can be set in the Value field.

Arc

The tool approaches/retreats the material with a tangential arc. The arc radius can be set in the Value field.

Tangent

The tool approaches on a line tangent to the profile. The length of the tangent can be set in the Value field.

If you defined the Normal value, the tool starts with the movement normal to the profile and then approaches tangentially.

Point

The tool leads in/leads out from a user-defined position. From this position the tool will move in a straight line to the start point of the profile. When you select this option, the Pick button will be activated and you can select a position from the CAD model.
