To Split a Follow Cut Motion
If you need to insert a CL command (for example, GOTO/x,y,z) in the middle of a Follow Cut motion, it is recommended that you split the Follow Cut motion first.
1. Select the Follow Cut motion segment in the list box at the top of the Follow Cut dialog box and click Split.
The Create Split Points dialog box opens.
2. Click Add and select a point on the tool path where you want to split the Follow Cut motion.
The system creates a datum point at the selected location.
3. If you want to split the Follow Cut motion into more than two segments, repeat Step 2 to create additional split points.
4. Once a split point is created, you can select its name in the list box at the top of the Create Split Points dialog box and click one of the following buttons:
◦ Remove—Delete the selected split point.
◦ Move—Move the selected split point. The system highlights the selected point. Select the new location on the tool path.
5. Click Preview to view the results. If satisfied, click OK.
