Use Optimizations

Check this box to enable the feedrate reduction parameters in the Toolpath Optimization tab of the toolpath operation dialog.

Limiting Corner Angle

Toolpaths equal to or below this Angle will be subject to these Feedrate Optimization rules.

Distance before corner to start reduction

This is the linear Distance BEFORE a corner when Feedrate Optimization begins.

Distance after corner to reset feedrate

This is the linear Distance AFTER a corner when Feedrate Optimization ends.

Limiting Arc Length

Arc motions equal to or below this length will be subject to these Feedrate Optimization rules.

Distance before arc to start reduction

This is the linear distance BEFORE an arc when Feedrate Optimization (when feedrate reduction) begins.

Distance after arc to reset feedrate

This is the linear distance AFTER an arc when Feedrate Optimization ends (i.e., when the feedrate returns to that specified by the operation).

Minimum distance between feedrate changes

This is the Minimum Distance between within which Feedrate Optimization will occur.  Adjust this value to the minimum distance between corners on your part.

Feedrate reduction percentage

This is the percentage of the default feedrate to apply for Feedrate Optimization.  For example, entering 0.25 will apply a 25% reduction in feedrate at the corner angles specified.  This value must be less than 1 to apply the correct feedrate reduction.

Motions to ignore if shorter than

Individual toolpath motions shorter than this distance will be ignored for Feedrate Optimization.

Motion strings to ignore if shorter than

Accumulative (i.e., consecutive) toolpath motions shorter than this distance will be ignored for Feedrate Optimization.
