Machining Operations Toolbar

This section describes the various icons available through the Multi-Axis Surface Machining workbench. Their disposition varies with your configuration.

The Multi-Axis Surface Machining icons are available in the following toolbars when installed with 3-Axis Surface Machining:

• Sweeping Operations,

• ZLevel Operations,

• Contour-Driven Operations,

• Spiral Milling Operations,

• Profile Contouring Operations.
