The new Tool orientation option for Unified and Swarf Milling produces a toolpath with expected behavior and correctly oriented tools. Choose from the following parameters:

  • Automatic: Chooses the correct tool orientation based on which side the toolpath is located.

  • Along normal: Sets the tool axis orientation outward relative to the clearance area.

  • Opposed to normal: Sets the tool axis orientation inward relative to the clearance area.

Find this option on the Linking page of the Multiaxis Toolpath dialog box for Unified and Swarf Milling toolpaths.
