If you are uncomfortable with following the procedure below, please seek assistance. Any such edits are done at your own risk and should only be attempted under the advisement of your IT professional. The procedure in the following document requires access and edits to the Windows registry. If our installation location for SOLIDWORKS differs, please adjust the procedure below accordingly. * Disclaimer : This document assumes that SOLIDWORKS was originally installed using the default locations. It no longer uses positional tolerances to calculate the Machine to Mean value.If you need to uninstall SOLIDWORKS, this guide walks through the entire process including preparing your machine and uninstalling Windows items, SOLIDWORKS items, SOLIDWORKS prerequisites, and more. SOLIDWORKS CAM tolerance-based machining only uses dimensional tolerances for the Machine to Mean value of a feature. This option is available in the VoluMill Settings dialog box in SOLIDWORKS CAM and Technology Database, and applies to 2.5 axis and 3 axis VoluMill toolpaths. You can split arcs that are larger than 90 degrees into smaller lines using Lines only. The calculation of Leadin and Leadout moves is improved so that the XY start and end points are accurately represented in a compensated toolpath.

The Geometry tab in the Operations Parameters dialog box lets you define and modify Multisurface features, Avoid features, and Contain and Avoid areas for 3 axis milling.

Geometry Tab in Operations Parameters Dialog Box.An advantage to using barrel tools is that they provide a larger area of contact, which results in a better surface finish. You can define barrel tools to generate toolpaths, mainly for multiaxis finishing operations in SOLIDWORKS CAM and the Technology Database.
