Contour Lead Enhancements for Rotary Advanced

We have enhanced the Rotary Advanced toolpath to allow for lead in/out control between contours within the toolpath. Previously, control was only allowed between slices, regions, last exit, and first entry. The following image shows a lead in/out between two contours.

A new function group named Contour leads has been added to the Linking page of the toolpath’s parameters dialog box, as shown in the image following. The added options for leads between contours are Use Lead-In, Use Lead-Out, Use Lead-In/Out, and Don’t use Lead-In.

When you select an option other than Don’t use Lead-In, new pages appear in the Linking section of the properties dialog box, as shown in the image following. These pages contain options for the fine control of tool movement between the toolpath contours.
