    entry point for tool path

    Hello
    can we assign entry point for tool path at some distance away from job.
    Just like in master cam , there is point ( location )specified entry for toolpaths.
    where is this option in solid cam?
    Thanks

    In the links sections / lead in / inside the drop down you can find the 'point' option

    Re: entry point for tool path

    Hello
    For 3d milling ,inside the leadin there is no point option,
    there are
    1 normal
    2 arc
    3 tanget options but no specific point option.
    But even when i use normal option in 3d milling (selection of working geometry center)
    it prompts
    there is lack of space for leadin & out.
    How it can be solved?
    But i need the one specific point option away from tool path at some distance.

    yes , point option is available in 2d operations but not in 3d milling.

    Please how it can fixed?

    its very good , if it will explained by some video tutorials.

    thanks
