Cleaning up exported tool paths

[JSomerville]

Good Morning All,

 

I use the export tool paths option often. After a while the opp's folder becomes very crowded.

 

Is there an easy way to clean out the folder or a way to delete the imported tool paths when I retrieve them.

 

Thanks in advance......

Sure. Are you aware that you can access the .ops file associated with your current machine def from the files tab in the ops mgr? Click the exclamation point icon to the right of where the ops file path is shown. It opens a narrow window displaying the contents of that current ops file. You can click on the ops and edit/delete them at will. you can also start a fresh .ops file simply by typing a new name in the header of the edit window.

We've got some tech white paper breakout pdf files we distribute as part of our tech support/training program. The one on this particular subject shows how a 3 axis vmc def can have its own associated tool library, ops library and defaults; different fromthe ones that load with, say, a 2axis prototrak....

compare a 12,000 rpm BT40 spindle to a 3,000 rpm R-8

Thanks Mike I'll give it a try and let you know how it works.
