GroovePath Properties

The GroovePath type exposes the following members.

Properties

	Name	Description
	CleaningPassEnabled	Gets a value indicating whether a cleaning pass is enabled for this groove path. Returns true if the cleaning pass is enabled (performs additional finishing pass), or false if it is disabled. Cleaning passes remove tool marks and improve groove surface finish.
	CleaningPassOffset	Gets the offset distance applied during the optional cleaning pass. The cleaning pass offset defines the tool position adjustment for the finishing pass to achieve desired groove profile.
	Cut	Returns the main grooving Contour that defines the actual groove geometry. The groove contour is composed of segments and arcs and can be open or closed, specifying the precise shape and path to be produced by the grooving operation.
	LeadIn	Returns the lead-in Lead trajectory that safely approaches the main grooving path. The lead-in trajectory uses lead types to ensure smooth tool engagement and reduces initial grooving stress on the tool before main groove cutting begins.
	LeadOut	Returns the lead-out Lead trajectory that safely exits the main grooving path. The lead-out trajectory uses lead types to ensure smooth tool disengagement and prevents abrupt tool withdrawal from the material after grooving completes.
	OffsetSide	Returns the offset side indicating which side of the path the grooving tool operates on as defined by OffsetSideEnum. The offset side determines tool positioning relative to the grooving path for proper material removal.
	PreventDepth	Gets a value indicating whether groove depth is constrained (prevented from exceeding). Returns true if the groove depth is constrained (preventing excessive depth), or false if the groove length/width is constrained instead. This setting controls the primary limitation on groove geometry during creation.
