Chook Name: appcfg.dll Date: 21 January 2002 Programmer: CNC Software, Inc. Distributor: CNC Software 671 Old Post Rd Tolland, CT 06084-9970 Contact: CNC Software Phone: (860) 875-5006 Description: This chook allows you to configure some toolpath/surface and toolpath/multiaxis settings. Input: Toolpath/surface - 1) Leftover/collapse dialog - show "disable smoothing" checkbox. This allows you to turn off the smoothing process of the leftover 3d collapse toolpath. This is an advanced control applied to the processing code and is used for quality control. 2) Disable single surface sharp corner test (all functions). This allows you to turn off the single surface sharp corner test in all operations applied to a model containing a surface with a sharp corner. If there is only a small break (small discontinuity) in the smoothness of the surface, it may be possible to ignore the sharp corner. If the break (discontinuity) in smoothness is large, the surface should be rebuilt as two surfaces. Toolpath/multiaxis - 1) Use v8 style flow5ax - This allows you to replace the version 9 flow5ax processing with the version 8 code. This is an advanced control applied to the processing code and is used for quality control. 2) Flow5ax geometry selection - If you choose to use the version 8 flow5ax processing, this radio button controls how you select the geometry. You may choose to always prompt for drive and check surfaces, or you may choose to use the toolpath/surface selection mode, or you may choose to set the geometry selection mode with the surface options dialog. 3) Rotary4ax geometry selection - The version 8 rotary4ax processing is currently used in version 9.0. The rotary4ax geometry selection radio button controls how you select the geometry for version 9 rotary4ax operations. You may choose to always prompt for drive and check surfaces, or you may choose to use the toolpath/surface selection mode, or you may choose to set the geometry selection mode with the surface options dialog.
