Printing Parameters?

[stevieboy]

Hi All

 

Is there a way to print all the parameters from a operation?

Also what about copy-ing all parameters from one operation to another operation.

 

Tks.

Do you mean a setup sheet? If so do a search on the forum. It has been covered quite a bit in the past.

Yes.. Just drag the parameters folder of the operation you want to copy into the paramaters of the operation you wish to override...

BTW, they have to be like operations... For example, you can't copy contour parameters into pocketing parameters... Nor would you want to

Set-up sheet Hmm... yes that mite be what I'm looking for. I'll check into it.

Also drag the parameters I'll give it a shot.

Been using Mcam for 3 weeks now.

Before used Pro/e Pro/man Pro/mold for 8 yrs.

building proto-type alum. molds, now I'm learning Mcam,Solidedge and AutoCad Mechanical 2004 and getting back into die work.

thanks for the help

That's whats so great about this place. I learn something new every day! Copying parameters will save me loads of time. Thanks Bob.

So do I... Lot's of tricks around every corner. And you won't find this kind of help anywhere for any other software.

I found that in the operation manger I can, select all, (save to library) name it, and then call it back up,

and use those parameters for another job.

 

Also my bad, I was thinking in sequences, Mcad thinks in operations

ths. again

Now you're talking about the Operation Library... Great tool that really comes in handy for repetative work and overall quickness of programming...You could also save the toolpath geometry into the operation library...

Another way to import operations is through the job setup screen. More than one way to skin a cat...
