1. Select a contour or profile path objects.
2. Select the CAM → Path Dressup → RampEntry option from the menu.

Properties

• Ramp Feed Rate : Can either be the current vertical or horizontal feed rate or some other custom value
• Angle : Angle of the ramp against the vertical axis. A smaller value makes the ramp steeper.
• Method : Used to select different modes of ramping:
  • RampMethod1: goes down at the ramp angle and the moves horizontal to the target point
  • RampMethod2: goes horizontal first and then down at the ramp angle to the target point
  • RampMethod3: goes down in a zigzag way
  • Helix: goes down spiraling
• Dressup Start Depth : The distance above the target level where ramping starts
• Use Start Depth : Indicates that the ramping does not start above the stock level. If it is not set to true the first ramp can be steeper than expected.
