Description
The
CAM DressupPathBoundary command allows restricting the extent of a path to a smaller part of the object. For example, restricting a profile path to just one face or part of the model.
Usage
- Select a path such as contour, profile or pocket operation.
- Select the CAM → Path Dressup →
Boundary option from the menu.
Options
- Create Box
- Create Cylinder
- Extend Model's Boundary Box: A very convenient way to limit a path is to select this option and use negative values.
- Use Existing Solid
Limitations
- The Create Box option only sets the dimensions of the box, not its origin. To alter its origin it is necessary to adjust its Placement in the Tree View.
