Verification question

[dantheman]

Hello all!

I did a search on this subject and did not turn up anything that addresses the question I have, but I will throw it out there just in case someone has some ideas! What I am tring to do is select several operations to verify and have the turbo tool setting turned on. I want to be able to verify all the operations except the last one and change to "simulate-tool" for just that operation. (without exiting out of verify) Is there some kinda work around for this? Dumb question but someones gotta ask it!

Dan, I've been using Mcam for about 10 years now and have not found out any way to do what you are describing. You can only select one or the other to verify.

Dan,

 

There is no way that I am aware to use separate tool settings on a single verify.

[dantheman]

I might add that the objective is to verify the first opps quickly in turbo as the paths are very Long

1-Verify the first ops in turbo

2-Save as stl

3-Verify last op against stl

[dantheman]

How do you go about verifying the last op against an stl file? I only tried working with stl files once and it seemed like a longggg time to save!

[dantheman]

Thanks for your hlep guys, I guess we can't have it all!

Dan!

Do as dcapps said

Verify the first operations, after it is done, save it as an stl from within verify. Exit verify and pick your last op. Select your stl as your file and then just verify the last operation.

Hey Greg, I am not understanding what you mean by

"Select your stl as your file" Do you mean inside of stock setup or inside of verification?

How about set it to stop on toolchange, then use fast forward till you get to the op you want to watch then press play.

Dan,

If you are using X. Select the first group of operations you want to verify. After it is done verifying, with the verification popup stil open click on the icon that looks like a disk and that will save it as an stl. Exit verify and select the last operation you want to verify and then go back into verify. In that verify popup click the yellow icon in the same row that the disk was on all the way on the left. Change the stock option in the upper left corner top "file" and then pick your stl you just saved and verify from that. HTH

The deal is that I want to be able to swhitch from "turbo tool" to "simulate" in "mid-stream" Oh well I will bump around a bit with this stl file thing.

You will like it once you figure out how to use the verify from .stl. (Thanks John Paris!) I use it all the time, but on my computer my .stl file doesn't have as fine of detail when I run it in turbo mode. I usually just let it verify normally on my rough ops, then save that to verify all my other finish ops against. I have also just figured out how to verify against the solid model that it is programmed from. It helps knowing that your program is correct, since we don't have any other verification software.

Okay guys I have the stl thing figured out, finally! and it is way cool! The only thing I noticed is that when you pick the last opp to verify againt, it is ultra slow. Is there a way to turn the turbo tool on and view the tool as it verifies?
