A first small parts pass will only be generated if the part is smaller that the specified area in the parameter Small parts pass routing - max area of part.

 

This max area of part refers to the rectangular area of the part. For certain shaped parts, the border area might be more appropriate for the maximum area.

 

If the border area check box is set, then the part border area will be used instead of the rectangular area.

 

The machine centre parameter can also be overridden via material parameters if required.

 

Notes

 

- Can also be set as a Material parameter at material level.
