The 2D Milling diagram provides a dynamic illustration of the Cutting parameters. As the cutting parameters are changed as a result of
Layout and features
To display the 2D Milling diagram, select the ‘2D Milling diagram’ option, as shown in the following screenshot.
As annotated in the screenshot above, the 2D Milling diagram contains the following recommended parameters:
Depth of cut (Ap)
Spindle speed
Width of cut (Ae)
Chip load

Feed rate
Each of these parameters can be amended in the Fine Tune section.
Dynamic adjustments
The 2D Milling diagram is dynamically updated by changes to any of the following:
Aggression control sliders
Fine tune parameter settings
Tooltips
The milling diagram contains the recommended values for cutting parameters, as shown in the following diagram.
Quality Control sliders
Provides the following choices for tool control:
Coarse (1 slider) - enables you to specify a value in a range that tends to an ‘Increased tool life’ or an ‘Increased productivity’.
Fine (2 sliders) - enables you to specify an additional value in a range that tends to an ‘Increased risk of rubbing’ or an ‘Increased risk of chipping the tool’.
