10.1 CAM Programming

Adding a Machining Side:

When a shape is created a prompt appears to add a machining side to a shape. The machining for pockets is typically on the inside, and for islands on the outside.

The Machining Side tool enables this feature to be added anytime after the shape has been created.

To add the machining side to a shape:

Select the Machining Side tool. Select a shape to add a machining side.

The Prompt bar will ask which shape to add the machining side to. Select the shape.

The Machining Side indicator is added to the selected shape on the side to be machined. To flip the machining side, touch the center of the indicator.
