The Quality command allows precise control over cutting quality for different portions of parts, with five quality levels from X-rough to X-fine affecting cutting speed by up to 500%.
🔹 How to Use
- Activate command: Select Quality from toolbar
- Select part: Choose the part you want to modify quality settings for
- Choose quality level: Select from X-rough, Rough, Medium, Fine, or X-fine
- Apply to sections: Use Paint, On Part, Clone, Filter, Area, In Object, or Holes options
- Target specific areas: Use various selection methods to apply quality to specific geometry
- Manage sister parts: Changes automatically apply to identical parts unless split
🧠Tips
- Speed difference: Up to 500% cutting time difference between X-rough and X-fine quality
- X-rough usage: Only use for material separation, not finished parts
- X-fine usage: Only when extreme finish quality is absolutely required
- Sister parts: Identical parts automatically inherit same quality settings
Paint method: Click three points to select specific portions of geometry
Pick on 1 then 2. Then you can pick on 3 to select left side or 4 to select the right side. You can also double click on the same point then the whole geometry will be selected.
- On Part: The whole part gets the selected quality.
Clone function: Copy quality settings from one area to identical geometries
On the picture below we want that all 10 holes should have the same quality as the first hole.
Start the command and select the first hole.
Then select all holes on the part.
The function is usable for all kinds of geometry, but they have the same geometry as the filter.
? If it was rectangles instead of circles, should that also work?
Yes, it can be all types of geometries, geometries can also be rotated in optional angles.
Filter option: Apply quality to all similar geometry types (like all inside corners)
If you for example want to cut all small inside corners (arcs) with a slower speed (better quality) then you need to paint many times. The filter option can make this very easy.
Select the quality you want for the inside corners.
Start the Filter option and select one of the inside arcs.
Then select all objects you want to modify. This can be done with a window.
Make a window that includes all identical objects that you want to modify
Area selection: Define polygon areas for bulk quality assignment
In Object: To use this option, you must draw a rectangle, circle, or another closed object.
Select a quality then select the closed object. Everything inside the closed object will get the selected quality.
Holes: This option is little similar as the Clone option. But in this case the geometry doesn't have to be equal.
Select the quality that you want to attach to the holes and start the Hole option.
If you want to change the quality only on one size of the holes, then select (A) or (B).
If you want to change the quality on all holes, just press enter.
In this we change quality on all holes.
- Other parts: It's normally only possible to change quality on the part you select when you start the quality command. By this option you can change the quality on other part on the drawing. The whole part will in this case have the selected quality.
- Show on all: If this checkbox is activated, you can see the quality on all parts on the drawing.
