Creo now allows you to choose either a circular or tangential extension when working with Profile, Area, or Groove turning sequences.
User Interface Location:

  1. In a manufacturing assembly, click Turn and select a Profile, Area, or Groove turning sequence command.
  2. Under Tool Motions, select a turning cut, and then select the reference. The Turning Cut dialog box opens.
  3. Under Options, select the Offset Cut check box.
  4. Select Circular extension or Tangential Extension for the start and end.

Release: Creo Parametric 9.0.0.0

What is the benefit of this enhancement?
After defining the start and end extension values in the Tool Motions dialog box, you can select how the toolpath is extended – either tangentially or in a circular manner.

Previously, selecting a circular start extension forced the entire extension to remain circular. This update removes that restriction.

As a result, users now have full flexibility to apply either circular or tangential extensions in turning operations, improving control over toolpath behavior without replacing existing functionality.
