'Use Stock'???

Think about "Remachining"

That's typically where a user would use stock...

another place is if you're starting with a casting and only need to machine certain areas. Defining your rough casting as stock can help in that situation.

There are others as well I am quite sure.

Thanks for the reply.

So typically when using the Stock Model?

 

Cheers.

In this case stock id used to drive Linking in drill toolpaths

Define some stock on the Stock page, then check out the linking page

Hi and thanks for the reply.

I have set my stock as a 3D bounding box to the part I have, then checked the Use Stock box, set the perameters to 'Stock Setup' and 'Both', this in turn sets my linking to Incremental, but all the posted figures are then incorrect.  We have two milling controllers I have to deal with here, Heidenhain (various models) and Fanuc, I get good code from the Fanuc, but bad from the Heidenhain and have been told that the Heidenhain post hasn't and isn't set up for this feature?

Cheers.

Andy.
