Description

This command inserts a path 3DPocket object into the Job.

Usage

Creating a 3DPocket

  1. From within a Job, select one or more Faces from the Job Model to include as the Base Geometry.
  2. Invoke the 3DPocket command from the Path->menu, or by selecting the GUI button.
  3. Choose a Tool controller from the pop up selection dialogue window.
  4. Add or subtract Base Geometry elements as needed to configure the Operation.
  5. Check the Depths tab to ensure the Start Depth, Finish Depth, and Step Down percentage are correct. The Final Depth is determined by the Body Geometry selection and is not modifiable.
  6. Check the Heights tab to ensure the Safe and Clearance Heights are appropriate.
  7. Check the Operation tab where the Tool controller can be re-selected, the Cut mode can be configured for Climb or Conventional milling, the Pattern can be set, the Step Over percentage can be adjusted, and Pass Extension can be applied.
  8. Click OK to save the Operation.
