Description
This tool dresses up an existing path to add a ramp entry
Usage

- click the RampEntry Dress-up menu item
Properties
- Ramp Feed Rate can either be the current vertical or horizontal feed rate or some other custom value
- Angle of the ramp against the vertical axis. A smaller value makes the ramp steeper.
- Method is used to select different modes of ramping:
- RampMethod1 goes down at the ramp angle and the moves horizontal to the target point
- RampMethod2 goes horizontal first and then down at the ramp angle to the target point
- RampMethod3 goes down in a zigzag way

- UseStartDepth indicates that the ramping does not start above the stock level. If it is not set to true the first ramp can be steeper than expected.
