How to profile a single edge

Hello

 

Thank you very much for joining me

 

I am learning Powermil 2016

I am not able to create a toolpath on a very simple square o rectangular section box

 

In particular I want to profile only one edge,

 

I am not sure if I need to create pattern or a feature for it

 

Basically I want to learn how to machine a wall with an endmil and cutter compensation, just a simply straight line toolpath

 

Any suggestion according this matter will be very appreciative

 

Thank you very much in advance for your support

if it is a 90 degree edge you can pick the surface and run a swarf toolpath on it. use extended move lead-in/lead-out to make sure the whole edge gets machined

See attached PM2016 project for examples.  (You'll need to unzip it)

Hi @morrysss,

 

Please go through below given link, this video provides information regarding feature detection like slots, pockets and chamfers, etc, also group editing with dynamically using simple click and drag commands. New 2.5D toolpaths offer greater programming control and efficiency.
