Splitting > Splitting Mode > Angular Splitting

Angular Splitting is designed for marking round, rotating objects. The object rotates in steps, with a new segment marked at each stop until the full circumference is covered. This mode requires the connected motion controller to have at least one rotational (angular) axis configured.

	If an option is grayed out in the Splitting Settings dialog, it cannot be used with the currently selected splitting option. Parameters that are checked but grayed out are not used.
