Depending on the geometry of the region you are machining, you may decide to cut using  <a class="links" href="javascript:void(0)" onclick="top.openFile('mfgmilling/pmill_fm_manual_cut.html');return(false);">Manual Cut Pattern</a>, one of the Automatic Cut Patterns, or Omit (if you do not want to cut the region). Because you have these options with Mixed Cut, you can determine with each cut region whether it would be best to use a predetermined automatic cut pattern, whether you should create your own cut pattern using Manual Cut, or whether no cutting is needed for that region (Omit).
