Derived toolpaths
Reusing previously created toolpaths. Copy, Duplicate and Derived Operations.
What we cover in this video
- Copy and Paste Operations.
- Delete an Operation.
- Duplicate an Operation
- Create a Derived Operation.
- Modify the new Operation.
- Selecting the inside and open pockets.
- Creating multiple finish cuts.
Derived Toolpaths lets you copy the parameters of an existing toolpath operation and use it in a different type of Toolpath. The next thing we need to do in our part is finish mill the pockets. We could Duplicate the 2D Contour, or we can use Derive. Our 2D Contour toolpath already contains the tool information and cutting parameters. We'll use that for our Derived Toolpath and then reselect the geometry.
