Description
The Path Helix command appends a helical interpolation Operation to the Job. Clockwise Helix interpolation outputs (G2) G-Code commands. Counterclockwise outputs (G3) G-Code commands. Step Over percentage specifies the concentric step-over as a percentage of the Tool diameter.
Usage
- Select the Path Workbench.
- Select the icon or Path → Helix from the top menu. This opens the Helix configuration panel.
- You will be prompted with a "Choose a Tool Controller" pop-up window to select a Tool Controller. In older versions, in the Operation tab, choose a Tool controller and confirm by pressing Apply.
- Open the Base Geometry tab. All available holes compatible with the Helix tool in the Job Model will be selectable for processing. In the 3D view select the holes by their edge or wall face and add them with the Add button. Check that they appear in the list. Confirm that the list matches the holes that are intended for processing.
- To remove holes select them in the list and press the Remove button.
- Ensure Start Depth, Final Depth and step down are correct, and adjust if not.
- Ensure Safe and Clearance Heights are correct, and adjust if not.
- In the Operation tab, specify the Helix Starting point, Direction, and Step Over percentage.
- Click Apply to create or update the path, OK to apply and close the panel, or Cancel to abort and close the panel.
