Globally changing speeds and feeds

[JB7280]

I know I can do it with the "change common parameters" function, but I was curious if I can change speeds and feeds for a tool, then apply those speeds and feeds to all of the operations that use that tool.  Similar to the "re-initialize speeds and feeds" but across all operations?  For example, I have a tap, and I want to change everything done by that tap from 10sfm to 18sfm.  Is there a way to do that to be sure I don't miss any operations?

Not that I am 100% sure of. It would be nice, but what I normally do is grab all the operation using a tool and then use edit common parameters and change the speeds and feed that way. It requires you to grab all the operation using the tool and if you miss one then you miss it. Like I think you are asking is going in the Toolpath Tool Manager and changing it there and having it adjust all speeds and feeds for a tool. Might try turning off Lock feed rates and going about ti that way, but I will still want to go back to every operation and make sure to feel comfortable it did it.

Yes, thats what I was asking.  And the way you do it is the same way I usually do.  I too, would end up going back to check them all.  So at that rate, I guess it's 6 in 1 hand, half dozen in the other.

Right click in tool path manager and use select- by tool number.  It will grab all ops using that tool
