WEBCAST Q&A
Question from Alex: Does changing the retract surface to a curved surface reduce the accuracy of the machining?
Answer: No, basically it should only effect the start and stop in your toolpath. It controls the amount of pull out only. It will only effect the entry and exit.
WEBCAST Q&A
Question from Dennis: Can you split the toolpath so the next tool starts where the first one ended?
Answer: It won't remember the last position of the tool in the 1st toolpath to start there on the 2nd toolpath. Something that works well for this is using "at a location" for axis control.
WEBCAST Q&A
Question from Wayne: Is there a collision detection option so we don't have to check only by eyeballing it?
Answer: Yes, you can turn on and off collision detection. The main thing that eyeballing does is it helps with deciding how to fix a problem with the toolpath.
