Tool Path Manager Question?

[Dustin S.]

I used transform toolpath and chose operation type to organize the toolpaths problem is its doing its job but I want diffrent results.

 

Lets say Im facing, billeting then cutting off a part on G54 then G55. Well its facing G54 then facing G55 coming back to G54 billeting then billeting G55 going to G54 cutting off then G55 cut off. If I choose operation order it completes G54 then G55. Thats ok but Id rather it went by tool, face, billet G54, then face, billet G55 then cut off G54 then G55.

 

That makes sense to me but Im sure its confusing what im looking to do is group toolpaths so im not wasting rapid time going part to part and im not wasting toolchange time going from part to part.

 

Ill leave it at that...

 

Thanks in advance for any help

Check out the Group NCI by

Operation Order

Operation Type

 

 

This is not working in X3. It has been reported

and has been assigned a bug number.

Where is that located how do I access that?

[gcode]

The Transform Toolpath

On the bottom left corner of the Trasform

Operation Parameter Page

Its normally greyed out, but lights up

if you select more than one operation

Did that its not outputting per tool... I want it to group tools of the same together and only switch parts when the tool is done on G54 before moving to G55

 

what i was doing is putting a transform after every tool group but seems like there is a better way?

Then you will need multiple transform toolpath operations, one for each type of tool you want to separate out.
