Limit Definition
Defines what area of the part will be machined with respect to the
limiting contours.
It can either be inside or outside. In the pictures below, there are three
limiting contours.
The tool path in the yellow areas will be machined.Side to machine: Inside

Side to machine: Outside

Stop position:
Specifies where the tool stops:
- Outside stops the tool outside the limiting contours.
The tool path is computed as if the limiting contours are increased by a value
equal to 50% of the tool diameter in each cutting plane,
- Inside stops the tool inside the limiting contours.
The tool path is computed as if the limiting contours are reduced by a value equal
to 50% of the tool diameter in each cutting plane,
- On stops the tool on the limiting contours.
This is the default (recommended) option.
Offset:
Specifies the distance that the tool will be either inside or outside the
limit line depending on the stop mode that you chose.
