About Automatic Cut Motions
The following Automatic Cut motion types are available for Volume, Local, and Profile milling steps created prior to Pro/ENGINEER Wildfire 5.0.
Automatic (Default)—Use all the slices generated by the system.
Upto Depth—Use slices up to a certain depth only.
From-To Depth—Use slices in a certain range of depths.
Slice/Slice—Generate Automatic Cut motions by specifying depth of each slice.
The following Automatic Cut motion types are available for Profile milling:
Full Depth Cut (Default)—Use all the slices generated by the system.
Upto Depth—Use slices up to a certain depth only.
To Depth Cut—Use slices in a certain range of depths.
One Slice Cut—Generate Automatic Cut motions by specifying depth of each slice.
The first three options produce a single Automatic Cut motion each, no matter how many slices are generated. In Slice/Slice and One Slice Cut each slice represents a separate Automatic Cut motion. You can use more than one option per an NC sequence; every time a new Automatic Cut motion will be added.
