MainContour Properties

The MainContour type exposes the following members.

Properties
 NameDescription
Public propertyLeadIn Returns the lead-in Lead trajectory that safely approaches the main cutting path. The lead-in trajectory uses lead types to ensure smooth tool engagement and reduces initial cutting stress on the tool before main contour cutting begins.
Public propertyLeadOut Returns the lead-out Lead trajectory that safely exits the main cutting path. The lead-out trajectory uses lead types to ensure smooth tool disengagement and prevents abrupt tool withdrawal from the material after contour cutting completes.
Public propertyMainContour Returns the main cutting Contour that defines the primary geometry to be produced. The main contour is composed of segments and arcs that can be open or closed, specifying the precise shape and cutting path boundaries for the milling operation.
Public propertyOffsetSide Returns the offset side indicating which side of the path the cutting tool operates on as defined by OffsetSideEnum. The offset side determines tool positioning relative to the cutting path for proper material removal.
Public propertyOffsetType Returns the offset type strategy as defined by TrajectoryOffsetTypeEnum. The offset type determines how tool radius is compensated during cutting path execution.
Public propertyOrbitalLanding Returns the optional OrbitalLanding that provides a spiral approach to the main cutting path. When configured, orbital landing gradually engages the tool with controlled depth progression before main cutting begins, reducing tool shock and improving surface finish quality on the entry point.
