Hi Group

 

I have a circle in a sketch and i want to run a ball nose milling cutter tool on this sketch with no cutter offset however in the tabs i can only select a left or right offset?
is there a way to use the 2d contour to cut on the line with no offset?

You can either turn the "Compensation Type" setting to "Off" and the centre of the tool will follow the contour, or you can use the "Trace" toolpath which does allow the user to set Left/Center/Right for the toolpath.
