SolidWorks CAM
2.5 Axis Feature Types
When you execute the New 2.5 Axis Feature command to define a 2.5 Axis feature, the 2.5 Axis Feature Definition: Select Entities dialog box will be displayed. This dialog box allows you to define the 2.5 Axis feature by type. The type of feature controls the operations that are created for the feature and influences the resulting toolpath.
After you select the face, sketch, edges or loops required to define the feature, SOLIDWORKS CAM validates that the selected geometry forms a valid shape for the selected feature type.
