Creating the tool paths:

To create a continuous path, the machining, material size, and tooling requirements must be defined. The material size can either be a block large enough to accommodate the tool path, or can be the actual size of the finished product.

Select the Tool Path button from the Geometry Tools in the main Toolbar.

The larger small circle represents the tool side of the contour. Touching on its center will flip it to the other side of the line.

Select the Job Setup button from the Vertical button bar to open the Job Setup dialogue.

For the Program Units select “Inch”.

Enter “1” for the Tool Number.

Enter .375 for the Tool Diameter.

Enter -1 for the Tool Length.

Enter Define and Use Tool for the Tool Action.

Touch Use to accept the Job Setup tool path.
