2D Machining Tools
The 2D Machining Tools tab contains several other sub-tabs:
- Part Information – This includes information on the part and also allows you to place pods and make single part g-code for point-to-point machines.
- Vertical Drilling Tools – Contains a list of available vertical drills based on your machine tool file. It also contains tools for drawing additional vertical drilling operations.
- Horizontal Drilling Tools – Contains a list of available horizontal drills based on your machine tool file (for machinery that can drill on part edges). It also contains tools for drawing additional drilling operations.
- Routing Tools – Contains a list of available routing tools based on your machine tool file. It also contains tools for drawing additional routing operations.
