NX tool overlap maximum when using reference tools.

NX tool overlap maximum when using reference tools.

NX tool overlap maximum when using reference tools.

(OP)
Hello all,
The docs say "The applied Overlap Distance value is limited to the tool radius" for both z-level profile reference tool overlap and flow cut reference tool overlap. I assume it refers to the radius of the programmed tool diameter and not the reference tool but I am not completely sure. Can anyone clarify this for me?

RE: NX tool overlap maximum when using reference tools.

In flowcut, this applies to the steep overlap, and is based on the cutting tool diameter.
Hint: Whenever you see the pull down option for part units (in/mm) or %Tool, it is based on the cutting tool diameter.

The overlap distance seen with the reference tool selection is a percent of the reference tool diameter.
