Profile panel — Toolpath
The Toolpath area contains the following settings:
- Name — Enter a name for the toolpath. If you leave this box blank, the toolpath is named after the type of toolpath you are creating. For example, if you create three Profile toolpaths and do not rename them, they are named Profile, Profile 1 and Profile 2.
- Calculate Later — Click
this button if you want to calculate the toolpath at a later time either by
itself or as part of a batch. The toolpath is added to the Project Tree under
the Toolpaths item, but is red to indicate it
has not been calculated.
The availability of this button is license dependent.
- Calculate Now — Click this button to calculate the toolpath now. A progress bar is displayed in the Status Bar area during calculation, then the toolpath is added to the Project Tree under the Toolpaths item. It is black to indicate it has been calculated. A wireframe representation of the calculated toolpath is displayed.
