Complete Z-level

This option enables you to define the order of the machining Z-levels.

Consider a CAM-Part with two cavities that must be machined : either with roughing strategies or with the Constant Z finishing strategy.

When the Complete Z-Level check box is not selected, the machining is performed in the following order: the first cavity area is finished by a number of cuts (1-4), then the second cavity is machined (cuts 5-8).

When the Complete Z-Level check box is selected, the machining is performed in the following order: SolidCAM removes material at a specific Z-level in both of the cavities and then moves to the next Z-Level.
