Absolute and incremental distance

[Uthman]

Hi all! I hope I can learn more about Mastercam since I'm a beginner.

What are absolute and incremental distance?

Thank you in advance!

Welcome to the Forum,

 

 

Libya huh?

 

 

absolute is your actual position from the origin

 

Incremental is your actual position in relationship to your last position.

Hi, your answer were clear but what did you mean by "Libya huh?" what's wrong with Libya? keep in mind you're a moderator.

I am a moderator and what's your point?

 

I was simply noting the country you listed as being from.

 

Did I say or even SUGGEST anything was wrong?

We almost always use Incremental when we create our toolpaths.

I've been to the Museum of Flight a few times and I love looking at those old radial engines.
