Min Cut Length for DTHC question
Posted: Fri Apr 27, 2018 5:21 pm
Does this rule only apply to the cut line/geometry as a whole, or can it switch on mid-cut?
If I have a 40" circle, but I only want the DTHC to turn on after the .5" leadin, can I set "Min Cut Length for DTHC" to 2", so that it will go beyond the lead-in, and get into the geometry before activating THC? Or will it see that the overall cut length is 40", and therefore ignore the min cut length and start THC after the DTHC delay period?
If the latter, what would be some ways of getting the THC to activate only after the .5" leading (when it is actually on the part geometry)?
Disable THC via the "min cut length" rule, and THEN create a "THC on" action point just past the lead-in?
Set the THC delay to some big number (10 seconds), and then activate with an action point?
I'm curious which action will take priority.
