Описание

The CAM Pocket Shape command creates a pocketing operation from selected bottom faces, or walls, of one or more pockets of the jobs base object.

The CAM Pocket Shape object is made to be part of a CAM Job.

Применение

1. Select the bottom or the wall(s) of a pocket. While it is usually easier to select the bottom, the walls have to be selected when a pocket goes through all.
2. There are several ways to invoke the command:
   • Press the Pocket Shape button.
   • Select the CAM → Pocket Shape option from the menu.
3. Adjust the desired properties.

Свойства

Note : Not all of these Properties are available in the Task Window Editor. Some are only accessible in the Data tab of the Properties View panel for this Operation.

Base

Note: It is suggested that you do not edit the Placement property of path operations. Rather, move or rotate the CAM Job model as needed.

• ДанныеPlacement: Overall placement[position and rotation] of the object - with respect to the origin (or origin of parent object container)
  • ДанныеAngle: Angle in degrees applied to rotation of the object around Axis property value
  • ДанныеAxis: Axis (one or multiple) around which to rotate the object, set in sub-properties: X, Y, Z
    • ДанныеX: X-axis value
    • ДанныеY: Y-axis value
    • ДанныеZ: Z-axis value
  • ДанныеPosition: Position of the object, set in sub-properties: X, Y, Z - with respect to the origin (or origin of parent object container)
    • ДанныеX: X-distance value
    • ДанныеY: Y-distance value
    • ДанныеZ: Z-distance value
• ДанныеLabel: User-provided name of the object (UTF-8)

Depth

• ДанныеClearance Height: The height needed to clear clamps and obstructions
• ДанныеFinal Depth: Final Depth of Tool- lowest value in Z
• ДанныеFinish Depth: Maximum material removed on final pass. The height (thickness) of the last cutting level - set for a better finish.
• ДанныеSafe Height: The height above which Rapid motions are allowed. (Rapid safety height between locations)
• ДанныеStart Depth: Starting depth of Tool - first cut depth in Z
• ДанныеStep Down: Incremental step down of Tool during operation

Visual reference for Depth properties (settings)

Extension

• ДанныеExtension Corners: When enabled connected extension edges are combined to wires.
• ДанныеExtension Length Default: Default length of extensions.

Face

• ДанныеOffset Pattern: Clearing pattern to use. (Select in which manner the horizontal movements should be done.)

Path

• ДанныеActive: Make False, to prevent operation from generating code
• ДанныеComment: An optional comment for this Operation
• ДанныеUser Label: User assigned label
• ДанныеTool Controller: Defines the Tool controller used in the Operation

Pocket

• ДанныеCut Mode: Specifies a CW or CCW move for the cut
• ДанныеExtra Offset: Extra offset to apply to the operation. Direction is operation dependent. (Extra value to stay away from final profile good for roughing toolpath)
• ДанныеKeep Tool Down: Attempts to avoid unnecessary retractions.
• ДанныеMin Travel: Use 3D Sorting of Path (when multiple base geometries used).
• ДанныеStart At: Start pocketing at center or boundary.
• ДанныеStep Over: Select the horizontal step over (Percent of tool diameter: 100% = tool diameter).
• ДанныеUse Outline: Uses the outline of the base geometry.
• ДанныеZig Zag Angle: Angle of the zigzag pattern. (Select the path angle relative to X-axis.)
• ДанныеSortingMode: Controls how multiple selected base geometries are ordered. Automatic uses automatic sorting. Manual follows the selection order.

Rotation

• ДанныеAttempt Inverse Angle: Automatically attempt Inverse Angle if initial rotation is incorrect.
• ДанныеB_Axis Error Override: Visually orient B(y) rotations to model (error in FreeCAD rendering).
• ДанныеEnable Rotation: Enable rotation to gain access to pockets or areas not normal to Z axis.
• ДанныеInverse Angle: Inverse the angle of the rotation. Example: change a rotation from -22.5 to 22.5 degrees.
• ДанныеReverse Direction: Reverse orientation of Operation by 180 degrees.

Start Point

• ДанныеStart Point: The start point of this path.
• ДанныеUse Start Point: Make True, if manually specifying a Start Point, then enter Start Points in the property data Start Points field.

Tasks Window Editor Layout

Descriptions for the settings are provided in the Properties list above.

Base Geometry

• Add: Adds selected element(s) which should be the base(s) for the path(s)
• Delete: Delete the selected item(s) in the Base Geometry list
• Clear: Clear all items in the Base Geometry list

Extensions

• ДанныеShow All: If selected, all potential extensions are visualized. Enabled extensions in purple, disabled extensions in yellow.
• ДанныеExtension Corners
• ДанныеExtension Length Default
• Enable
• Disable
• Clear

Depths

• ДанныеStart Depth
• ДанныеFinal Depth
• ДанныеStep Down

Heights

• ДанныеSafe Height
• ДанныеClearance Height

Operation

• ДанныеTool Controller
• ДанныеCut Mode
• ДанныеPattern (Offset Pattern)
• ДанныеAngle (Zig Zag Angle)
• ДанныеStep Over Percent (Step Over)
• ДанныеPass Extension: The distance the facing operation will extend beyond the boundary shape (base geometry)
