A new Unified toolpath option lets you select the entire model under Part. Mastercam processes it while generating the toolpath pattern, resulting in smoother toolpath motion that is aware of the features of the model. By providing the entire part model, tool path motion will be collision free, eliminating the need to collision check the flute of the tool.

The Part option available. .

This is useful for reducing excess linking motion that can otherwise occur when collision avoidance trims the toolpath.
