file to file

[Columbo™]

Hello,

 

Is there a way to copy toolpath (operations) from one file to another????

[Guest]

Right click in the op manager and click Import, navigate to the folder that contains the file with the ops you want, clikc the drop down to selct the file and the select ops, click the green check to import them and then the red X to back out when you've imported them.

 

Make sure you don't click the Green Check again or you will import them again.

Also, uncheck assign tools numbers sequentially

or they will renumber them regardless of what order

they were imported in at.

 

check disable duplicate tool checking also.

Save just before you do this because you may

want a different result then the ones I suggest

and you simply can close with out saving if

it messes up on ya.

 

Sometimes you have 4 paths using the same tool

and it actually a few times gave that those paths

2 and 3 different number. only scrapped one

component because of it, so now I un check that

just in case

I only export specific 'common tools' to the

C:Mcamx4millops, folder. Ones I use to prep

mold components, engravint tools, drills and taps

etc.

 

Other wise, you don't 'have' to.

Also, after importing your ops. and saving the file - click on the groups to bring up the groups manager and delete the group that was created when you imported your operations. I started doing this as a precaution after being informed that not doing so was the reason my ops. manager would sometimes get jumbled up.
