Select this checkbox to enable uninterrupted smooth milling along the same strip of Cleanup motions.
= When this option is OFF and the face normals along the strip change direction, the milling will be interrupted (introducing additional retracts and approaches) in order to maintain the Climb or Conventional setting in all the sections of the strip.
= When this option is ON, this enables uninterrupted smooth motions by setting the milling direction along the whole strip as either Clockwise (CW) or Counter-clockwise (CCW). This eliminates the calculations for climb or conventional milling within the selected geometry, and will reduce the amount of approaches and retracts.
The Conventional setting will create CW motions regardless of the face normals. The Climb and Mixed setting will create CCW motions regardless of the face normals.
This parameter is displayed when the Machined Regions parameter is set to either Split Horiz./Vert., All Along or Horiz. Only.
Default: Checked.
