Technology Attributes
These attributes provide technological information without any impact on the tool path computation.
- MFG_MAX_MIL_LENGTH (Max machining length)
-
Type: Real
Specifies the tool life in length units.
- MFG_MAX_MIL_TIME (Max life time)
-
Type: Real
Specifies the tool life in time units.
