Sets the machining Quality of the drawing
The mouse wheel can be used to zoom-in and zoom-out while using this command.
Quality right-click commands
The Quality command brings up a fly-out menu with commands for setting the quality of entities in the drawing. LAYOUT uses different colors to represent the selected Quality for each entity.
The Quality colors
The Quality chosen affects the perceived surface finish and how quickly the part is made. A Quality of "1" will make the part quickly, but with a rougher surface finish than a Quality of "5." A Quality of "5" will have a finer surface finish, but it will take longer to make the part.
The Quality is always adjusted for the material being used. A Quality of "3" will move considerably faster through a part made of foam than through a part made from one-inch steel.
Click Quality to automatically select the Quality Cursor command.
Several Qualities also have a corresponding Quality of "Slit," which cuts at the same speed, but does not use a tool offset. The Slit Quality can be applied to Qualities 1 to 5, Water Only, and Minimum Taper.
To choose the Slit Quality, you right-click the desired button and select it from the menu that appears.
