Option	Description

Option	Description
Finishing operation ordering	There are two options available: Order by type - CAM Assist will separate floor and wall toolpaths into separate folders. This can make the program easier to understand, but can introduce additional tool changes if the same tool is used for both floors and walls. Minimize tool changes - CAM Assist will produce floor and wall toolpaths in a single folder, ordered to minimize tool changes.
Finishing flat operation	The options available are: 2D Area mill - where possible, use 2D mill; otherwise, use Horizontal. Horizontal - use the 3D High Speed Horizontal strategy.
Finishing freeform operation	There are two options: Waterline - use the Waterline strategy for finishing freeform operations. Hybrid - always use Steep and Shallow operations.
Deburring tool type	There are two options available: Ball mill - use ball mills to deburr sharp edges. Chamfer tool - use chamfer mills to deburr sharp edges.
