Model top: incremental offset from the Model Top.Bottom height: incremental offset from the Bottom Height.Top height: incremental offset from the Top Height.Feed height: incremental offset from the Feed Height.Retract height: incremental offset from the Retract Height.The Clearance height offset is applied and is relative to the Clearance height selection in the drop-down list below. The Clearance height is the first height the tool rapids to on its way to the start of the tool path. The absolute heights are always in relation to the operation origin which defaults to the WCS defined in the setup the stock.īelow we will explain the different options on the heights tab. Each height is defined by an offset amount and a mode that tells from which other height the offset applies.

On the Heights tab, you can also control the retracts by setting the Clearance Height, Retract Height, and Feed Height. The machining area is defined by the Top Height and Bottom Height.

In Autodesk Inventor HSM you can control the machining area by depth for most machining strategies on the Heights tab.
