Allow negative stock allowance for more tool types

Allow negative stock allowance for more tool types

Actually, a negative stock allowance is only available for tools with ball ends.

See here the PTC documentation on article CS169058.

This behavior is a big limitation of functionality in milling features.

Also, there are no technological reasons for this.

The proposed workarounds are not feasible for complex components and in combination with a tool database.

 

Please add this functionality in one of the next Creo releases

Negative stock allowances have an advanatage in multiple milling applications and should not be limited to a ball end mill!

Negative stock allowances are a must with all milling tool types.

Please add this. And why can't I add more than the radius on the corner of the bull nose?
