To Create a Lead In Tool Motion
With this tool motion you can make the tool approach another motion tangentially along an arc of specified radius.
1. On the Trajectory, Face, or Profile tab, select Lead In in the Tool Motions list. The Lead In dialog box opens. The dialog box contains the following options:
2. Reference cut collector—Displays the referenced cut name.
3. Entry Angle—Define the angle of the arc.
4. Tangent Lead Step—Define the length of the linear movement that is tangent to the lead-in motion.
5. Normal Lead Step—Define the length of the linear movement that is normal to the tangent portion of the lead-in motion.
6. Lead Radius—Specify the radius of the arc.
7. Click Parameters to edit the tool motion parameters using the Edit Parameters dialog box.
8. Click OK to create the approach motion, or click Cancel to cancel.
