Description
This tool creates a profiling operation, starting from a selected face of a Part-based object.
Usage
- Select a face on a Part-based object. Alternatively, also select a starting edge on that face.
- Press the {{KEY|
Profile button - Adjust the desired properties
Options
- The Path Profile object is made to be part of a Path Project. To correctly configure the profiling, a tool table must be present in the project's machine object, and a Tool Change command must be placed before the profile.
Properties
- DataActive: Make False, to prevent operation from generating code
- DataUse Placements: make True, if using the profile operation placement properties to transform toolpath in post processor
- DataTool Number: The tool number in use
Depth Properties
- DataClearance Height: The height needed to clear clamps and obstructions
- DataStep Down: Incremental Step Down of Tool
- DataUse Start Depth: make True, if manually specifying a Start Start Depth
- DataStart Depth: Starting Depth of Tool- first cut depth in Z
- DataFinal Depth: Final Depth of Tool- lowest value in Z
- DataRetract Height: The height desired to retract tool when path is finished
- DataComment: An optional comment for this profile
Feed Properties
- DataVert Feed: Feed rate for vertical moves in Z
- DataHoriz Feed: Feed rate for horizontal moves
Start Point Properties
- DataStart Point: The start point of this path
- DataUse Start Point: make True, if specifying a Start Point
- {{PropertyData|Extend At Start", "Start Point", translate("extend at start", "extra length of tool path before start of part edge
- DataLeadIn Line Len: length of straight segment of toolpath that comes in at angle to first part edge
End Point Properties
- DataUse End Point: make True, if specifying an End Point
- DataExtend At End: extra length of tool path after end of part edge
- DataLeadOut LineLen: length of straight segment of toolpath that comes in at angle to last part edge
- DataEnd Point: The end point of this path
Profile Properties
- DataSide: Side of edge that tool should cut
- DataDirection: The direction that the toolpath should go around the part ClockWise CW or CounterClockWise CCW
- DataRollRadius: Radius at start and end
- DataOffsetExtra: Extra value to stay away from final profile- good for roughing toolpath
- DataSegLen: Tesselation value for tool paths made from beziers, bsplines, and ellipses
