Slice the Part

New ability to slice the part in the Z axis, to apply the machining cycles on each of the several divided areas along Z.

The command can be accessed with a Right-click on Material in the Machining tree.

This opens a dialog window.

The field for Max section step (Sm) allows to define the maximum length in Z to section the part.

The field for Shoulder (Sh) allows to define a tolerance value for the recognition of shoulders during the section calculation.

On defining the values and executing, a table is generated in the blank space.

You can add(with the Green Cross), delete from the list and even modify the Z slices by changing the values in the table.

These changes will be dynamically applied on the part.

The section cursor can also dynamically be moved on the part just by clicking and dragging it to the required position.

The Z value in the table will adapt accordingly.

The whole opelist cycles are applied on each section, only implementing the compatible cycles per section.

Watch a video on the right showing an example of the command.
