None

Do not perform multiple passes.

By Tool Change

Enable multiple passes by the type of cutter being used. This causes the resulting toolpath to finish all the motions of the first tool on the source and target geometry before changing to the second tool.

If this option is selected, the parameter Multi Pass Order is displayed - see below.

By Procedure Change

Enable multiple passes by the type of procedure. In this case, the cutting motions move between the source and target at the end of each procedure, regardless of tool change (this means that multi-cutter procedures are not divided and successive procedures with the same tool are separated).

If this option is selected, the parameter Multi Pass Order is displayed - see below.

By Tool or Procedure Change

Enable multiple passes by the type of cutter or by the type of procedure. This sorts the toolpath both at the end of each procedure and whenever the cutter is changed.

If this option is selected, the parameter Multi Pass Order is displayed - see below.

Multi Pass Order

When performing multiple passes on the transformation elements, define the milling order of the passes by selecting the milling direction; Bidir (Bidirectional) or Unidir (Unidirectional).

With Unidir, the source geometry is milled first. You can force the target geometry to be milled first by selecting the Reverse Element Order checkbox.

With Bidir, the second section of machining begins where the first finished.
