Tangential Extension Distance for Parallels and 3D Contours

Tangential Extension Distance for Parallels and 3D Contours

My team and I would like to see a "Tangential Extension Distance" option/box for Parallels and 3D Contours. This simple addition would save us TONS of programming time.

 

The Tangential Extension Distance box is a great feature that allows us to extend the beginning and end of a 2D Contour toolpath in a straight line.

We would be eternally grateful to the Fusion gods if we had the same ability in both the Parallel and 3D Contour toolpaths!

There are currently many workarounds (see below), but they all involve leaving the CAM environment. This is a huge time eater for us and it should not be necessary.

 

Thanks for all your hard work!

 I agree 100%. This can be very frustrating to set up over and over again.
