Auto Start/End Point

Automatically select the start/end point for machining closed 2.5X Profile procedures, based on parameter settings.

This parameter is relevant for the following procedures:
Chamfer Closed Contour, Helical Closed Profile, Profile Closed Contour and Safe Closed Profile.

Auto End Point is displayed for Helical Closed Profile.
Auto Start Point is displayed for the other procedures mentioned above.

The following dropdown options are available:

On Largest Segment

Start/End machining at the middle point of the largest segment of the contour.
This is the default option.

At a Corner

Start/End machining at the sharpest outer corner.

At First Segment

Start/End machining at the middle point of the first segment.

If a start/end point for machining is manually selected (through the Contour Manager), this overrides the automatic setting.

If a contour has been changed, a new start/end point is calculated.

(This parameter is set in the Entry & End Points section of the Procedure Parameter Table.)
