![]() ![]() ![]() For example, if you want a helical curve that spans 2 revolutions of the part, at a radius of 3", and the length of the part in the X direction is 9", you would create the line with endpoints (X=0, A=0, R=3.) and (X=9., A=720., R=3. You then program X in length units, A in angle units, and R at the radius you're cutting. If you set the wrap option to active, the geometry dialogs change from XY to either A/X/R or B/Y/R C/Z/R or (depending on which axis is wrapped). The span of your geometry in X needs to be 15.707" to go all the way aroundYou don't have to do the wrap math. If you have 5" dia, then pi x 5 = 15.707" If you want to cut all the way around, then your geometry needs to span, in X, the correct distance. So basically what you are doing is drawing linear geometry and wrapping it around your part. toggling the wrapped toolbar button will show the geometry wrapped or linear. If 5' dia part, draw geom at 2.5' radius. make sure the depths ( approach/retract/surface/cut depth ) on the /rough/contour op are radial values from centerĪny geometry drawn in this WG can be wrapped around the OD of the part draw the geometry at the correct radial elevation. on your rough/contour op, click rotate tab, make sure "Polar/Cyl" milling is selected. draw the geometry at the correct radial elevation. ![]()
