Projecting Toolpath & Contouring Cycle (Graphic)

Here's an example of a contouring toolpath that is projected onto a surface. The Work Step uses the standard Contouring cycle to machine the 2D curve that is assigned as the path curve. By adding the surface to the "Work Step Surfaces " table on the 3D Cycle Data tab of the Work Step Data dialog, the system projects the resulting toolpath onto the surface.
