Did anyone achieve a profile sequence where the tool follows a ramp trajectory? I tried differrent ways but it always keeps a 90 degree step down.

If you are milling holes I can help. create a surface mill sequence choose the surfaces of the hole or define your mill surface. Use cutline closed loops

after that is setup, go back into the parameters and choose scan type TYPE_HELICAL. Your step over will control the angle of the helix. Be aware that this will generate all point to point CL data. (no circle statments will be created)

I belive that functionality is under development.

That's rich. Why would they sell the software then?I' m starting to loose my patience with PTC.If it would really work, I could use a spiral trajectory when machining holes. Instead of Volume Rough I could use Profile, if only the ramp option would work.
