Pack: G_BASELINE Severity: minor

Keep milled floor-and-wall faces orthogonal when a filleted floor is expected

Pack G_BASELINE — DFM Baseline Codex
Title Keep milled floor-and-wall faces orthogonal when a filleted floor is expected
Severity minor
Check logic Hybrid
Applies to CAD pocket feature
Inputs required geometry_features, pocket_corner_radius
Fix template Align the pocket floor and side walls for standard end-mill access, or explicitly justify a multi-axis surface.

Short Description

Standard end mills naturally leave a corner radius at the floor. Keeping side and bottom faces orthogonal avoids unnecessary multi-axis machining and makes the feature easier to cut with standard tools.

When It Applies

This rule belongs to G_BASELINE (Shared across multiple manufacturing routes) and targets CAD pocket feature.
