It would be nice to have a simple 2D Facing operation in CC.
I see that @wmoy used a Pocket operation to clear an Inlay plug to simulate a Face operation.
I was not impressed with the finish as opposed to a Fusion Face . The center out made me nervous for some reason
.
I believe I also mentioned that a 3D roughing toolpath can be used to simulate a facing operation. And Kevin has demonstrated drawing a long C or U-shaped segment, repeating that multiple times, and having a contour toolpath follow that to recreate the effect of a surfacing toolpath.
But the sentiment is understood. I too would love a simple, dedicated Facing toolpath in Create.
I wonder if just adding a zigzag/raster/lace pattern to the pocket operation would do this?
Might want an option to turn the final profile pass off for actual facing/surfacing.
And an option to add finish stock when the final profile is used.
