Cut by Zone – if there are two pockets being cut these are the options. With this box checked the toolpath will complete one pocket before moving to the next. With the box unchecked the toolpath will alternate between pockets, cutting one level at a time in each pocket.
Enable Auto Entry – with this box checked the system will pick the best point of Entry to optimize the toolpath. With it unchecked, the system will ask the user to pick a point to enter the pocket.
Protect against Carrot Buildup – with this box checked the system will not go into any area where the tool will not be able to fit without letting the tool clear the center of the tool. If the box is unchecked the system will go wherever it can fit regardless of the size. If the tool fits it will go into that area.
