For example, if the concatenated folders E:DownloadOfCXR12relintel_astartup and e:usersjmnNC in the figure above contain PP tables, then those PP tables will be available for selection
20、in the Part Operations Machine Editor dialog box. Please note that: G PP tables must be contained in folders named ManufacturingPPTables G tools must be contained in folders named ManufacturingTools. Tool Selection Automatic query after modification Select this checkbox if you want to to activate an
21、 automatic query after each modification of a tool parameter. Performance is improved when this checkbox is not selected. Tool preview after selection Select this checkbox if you want to preview the tool after selection. By default, these checkboxes are selected. 89Page Advanced Machining Version 5
22、Release 15 Automatic Compute from Tool Feeds and Speeds Feedrate attributes of the operation Select this checkbox if you want the Automatic Update of Feedrates option to be set by default in the Feeds and Speeds tab page of machining operations. This option allows feedrates of operations to be autom
23、atically updated whenever feedrate information on the tool is modified. Spindle attributes of the operation Select this checkbox if you want the Automatic Update of Speeds option to be set by default in the Feeds and Speeds tab page of machining operations. This option allows spindle speeds of opera
24、tions to be automatically updated whenever speed information on the tool is modified. By default, these checkboxes are selected. Tool Query mode in Machining Processes Instantiation Select the type of Tool Query to be executed when a Machining Process is instantiated: G automatically computed Tool Q
25、uery G interactively defined Tool Selection in case of multiple results G interactively defined Tool Selection if no tool is found. Depending on the selected option, the Advanced tab page of the Search Tool dialog box shows the solved Tool Query for each operation in the Machining Process. By defaul
26、t, the Automatic Tool Query option is selected. In the example below, you can choose one of the tools found in the ToolsSampleMP, or use the Look in combo to select a tool from the current document or another tool catalog. 90Page Advanced Machining Version 5 Release 15 91Page Advanced Machining Vers

Default Values Select the checkbox if you want operati
29、ons 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 OK). Otherwise
30、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. Sequence machinin
31、g 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 of the current p
32、rogram, it will be set in the 92Page Advanced 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 is created i
33、n 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 created operati
34、on. 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. Otherwise, if the ch
35、eckbox 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 defined for the
36、 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 Select the checkb
37、ox 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 is not selec

Tool Path Storage 94Page Advanced Machining Version 5 Release 15 Select the desired option to store tool path data either in the current document or in a
43、n external file (as a tpl file). For operations with large tool paths (more than 100 000 points), tool path storage in an external file is recommended. By default, the Store tool path in the current document option is selected. Tool Path Edition Select the checkbox if you want to be able to edit too
44、l paths even when the operation is locked. This capability is available only for activities with a tool path node in the specification tree. By default, this checkbox is selected. During Tool Path Computation Select the checkbox if you want to store contact points in the tool path. Performance is im
45、proved when this checkbox is not selected. By default, this checkbox is selected. Tool Output Point Select the desired option to select one of the following as output point: G tool tip G tool center point G tool center point for ball end tools (that is, any tool with the Ball-end tool attribute sele

Default File Locations 95Page Advanced Machining Version 5 Release 15 Specify default locations for storing Tool P
47、ath files, NC Documentation, and NC Code output. You can store tool paths files (tpl files) in the same folder as the CATProcess by selecting the checkbox. This allows you to store these files according to your CATProcess context. Otherwise, you can choose another location by clicking the . button.
48、For NC Documentation, and NC Code output you can choose a folder easily by clicking the . button. You can customize the extension to be used for NC Code output (by default, the suffix used is CATNCCode). Please note that Video results are stored in the NC Code output directory. This is done by using
49、 the Associate Video Result to Machining Operation icon in the Tool Path Replay dialog box. By default, the Tool path: Store at same location as the CATProcess checkbox is not selected. 96Page Advanced Machining Version 5 Release 15 Program This document explains how to customize manufacturing program settings for Machining products.
