Preview Containment

Hide or Show (/) a preview of the user contours in the current procedure, including contour offset conditions. The Containment shows the area that can be covered by the current tool inside defined contours and the machining area (a combination of the user contour and part surfaces).

If a user contour has not been defined, the internal containment (the bounding box of the stock and part surfaces, together with the check surfaces and the holder) is displayed.

By default the Containment is defined at the Toolpath Z (Clearance) [example dialogexample dialog]

If the toolpath and procedure UCSs are different, then the Containment is defined by the Procedure Clearance Plane parameter [example dialogexample dialog]

The following display characteristics of the containment can also be defined:

• Color.

• Render mode - Transparent , Wireframe .

Examples

The Containment can be displayed

Containment Off -	Containment On - Default Color Wireframe -
Containment On - Default Color Transparent -	Containment On - Color - Wireframe -
Important: See Containment Clearance Height for information on how to define the height of the containment.
