Description

Boundary dress-up 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

1. Select a path such as contour, profile or pocket operation
2. click the Boundary Dress-up menu item

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.
