Procedure Connection Point
In milling procedures, Cimatron generates several rapid motions before the actual cutting motions. The last rapid motions are used by GPP2 to determine the connection point as follows:
-
The connection point is above the first cutting (feed rate) point, where above is measured along the tool axis.
-
The point has the same orientation as the first cutting point
An example is shown in the following image.
In drill procedures, Cimatron generates no rapid motions before the actual cycles. The connection point is defined at the init point of the first cycle.
-
The connection point is above the first hole point, where above is measured along the tool axis. The height is defined by the CYC_DZINIT variable.
-
The point has the same orientation as the first drill cycle.
An example is shown in the following image.
