21Pocket Milling creates pocket operations for one or multiple pockets.These pockets can contain none or multiple islands. In a singleoperation, it is possible to make both roughing and finishing cuts, butonly with one tool.Contour Milling creates operations for contour milling. A contouroperation can machine multiple contours with roughing and finishingcuts, but only with one tool.Drilling creates drilling operations for hole drilling. From a drawingthe hole positions can be selected with the use of a filter, or bysimply indicating the hole position. If multiple holes are drilled, theycan be arranged in both rectangular and circular patterns.Helix Milling can generate operations for helix drilling. Like normaldrilling, multiple holes can be selected with the use of filters, or byselecting the individual circles on the drawing.Thread Milling can create threading milling operations. The threadscan be inside or outside, and can be created for tools with one ormultiple teeth. Again multiple threads can easily be selected with theuse of the filter function.Simple letter milling can generate operations for milling simpleletters on the drawing. These letters will have to be drawn using thesimple letter function, but then all letters can be selected with thewindow functions, and machined in operations based on their startand end depth.True Type letter milling can create operations to mill the outline and/or the interior of the individual letters. The letters can be selectedwith the window function, and all letters with the same parameterscan be machined in one operation.
