Default Values Select the checkbox if y
21、ou want operations to be created with the values used in the current program. The values and units of attributes at the creation step of an operation are set to the values and units of the last edited and validated operation whatever its type (that is, exit the operation definition dialog box using
22、OK). Otherwise the default settings delivered with the application are used. By default, this checkbox is selected. After Creation or Machining Process (MP) Instantiation Select the desired checkboxes to specify conditions to be applied when you create machining operations or machining processes. Se
23、quence machining operation Machining operations are automatically sequenced in the current program after creation. Otherwise, sequencing can be managed in the feature view. Search compatible tool in previous operations When creating an operation, if a compatible tool exists in a previous operation o
24、f the current program, it will be set in the 123Page Lathe Machining Version 5 Release 15 new operation. Otherwise, the operation will be incomplete. Use a default tool When creating an operation, a search is done in the document to find a compatible tool. If no compatible tool exists, a default one
25、 is created in the document and set in the created operation. If checkbox is not selected, no tool will be defined on the operation. Start edit mode (not available for machining processes) When creating a machining operation, Edit mode is automatically started to allow modifying parameters of the cr
26、eated operation. Otherwise, the operation is added to the program but the machining operation editor is not started. MP instantiation: keep the absolute position of the tool axis When a machining process is instantiated, the tool axes of the activites in the MP keep their absolute positions. Otherwi
27、se, if the checkbox is not selected, these positions are changed in order to keep the relative components of the tool axis. By default, these checkboxes are selected. When Copying Select the checkbox if you want geometry links to be duplicated in a copied operation. Otherwise the geometry must be de
28、fined for the copied operation. Performance is improved when this checkbox is not selected. By default, this checkbox is selected. Display Select the checkbox if you want to display tool paths of operations in the current Part Operation. By default, this checkbox is not selected. User Interface Sele
29、ct the checkbox if you want to have the possibility of simplifying the dialog boxes of machining operations (that is, you can display the minimum number of parameters necessary for a correct tool path). This setting is available for 3-axis surface machining operations only. By default, this checkbox
30、 is not selected. 124Page Lathe Machining Version 5 Release 15 Output This document explains how to customize data output settings for Machining products.
