Geometry is the only mode available when mirroring operations. The copied geometry is temporary when the Create new operations and geometry option is off, and permanent when that option is selected. This method copies and transforms the geometry needed for toolpath creation. Use the Geometry method to copy and transform the source operation’s parameters, geometry, and toolpath references and to generate an entirely new NCI section. This means that a mirror transform of a multi-surface toolpath with the Reverse option selected would cut from bottom to top. converting feed moves in Z into rapid movesĬontour and pocket toolpaths have their depth cuts marked as such in the NCI, but multi-surface toolpaths do not.converting rapid retracts into feed moves.avoiding creating invalid left-handed views.It’s fast when the transform method is Coordinate even faster when transforming by Toolplane.įor Translate and Rotate transforms, the NCI option is accurate, but there are many issues when using this option with Mirror transforms, such as: Mastercam reads each NCI line from each source operation, extracts all the values from each line, and transforms them based on the transform parameters. The NCI option will copy and transform the source operation’s NCI lines. Have you ever wondered what the differences are between using the NCI or Geometry options when transforming a toolpath?
