Generating spinning geometry
By selecting cutting and non-cutting geometries, you can generate a spinning geometry.
Note
You must define the cutting and non-cutting geometries in Identify cutting and non-cutting geometry before generating the spinning geometry.
This function is not available for turning tools.
Using the CUTTING_SPUN and NON_CUTTING_SPUN settings in the Machine Tool Builder section, you can confirm the cutting and non-cutting spinning geometry of a tool assembly.
Selecting the CUTTING_SPUN or NON_CUTTING_SPUN setting highlights the corresponding geometry.
