Description

Previously, the Four Axis Area Turning command generated a toolpath based on the old menu manager. The UI for the Four Axis Area Turning command is now modernized and the old menu manager-based toolpath is no longer applicable for this command.

The CLEAR_DIST, TURN_FOLLOW_TPROF_DIR, and USER_OUTPOINT_POINT parameters are now supported for the 4-axis Area Turning sequences also. The CUTCOM statement at each slice in the sequence is also supported for 4-axis Area Turning.

Benefits

This enhancement provides the following benefits:

• Reduces menu manager-based toolpaths

• Leverages enhancements made for other toolpaths

• Provides a UI consistent with other toolpaths in Creo NC
