Clearance Type
Used in Connection procedures, this is a 3D surface upon which the toolpath connecting two procedures will lie.
The tool orientation may be normal to the Clearance, but can also be controlled otherwise.
|
Plane |
The clearance surface is a plane above the stock, upon which the connection path will lie.
|
|
Cylinder |
The clearance surface is a cylinder around the stock, upon which the connection path will lie.
|
|
Sphere |
The clearance surface is a sphere around the stock, centered at the active UCS, upon which the connection path will lie.
|
|
None |
No clearance surface is defined and the connection will run directly from the end of the Retract (of the previous procedure) to the beginning of the Approach (of the next procedure).
