Tool settings

[Scottdyna]

Under the operations manager when you open the tool settings there is a couple of settings that where always checked on X4 but now on X5 they aren't. Is there a way to save your settings in there. I want to have it always number tools sequentially and I would also loike it to always use Program #1 as a default. Right now the default program # is always 0. Also in X4 when I would do a contour toolpath and set my speeds and feeds the next time I picked a contour toolpath it would use the same speeds and feeds and tool I used last time. Now in X5 it picks any random other endmill in the current tool list and reverts the speeds and feeds back to default values. Is there a setting to change this also? Still new to getting this thing configured how I want. Thank you for any help. Its very apreciated!

The second half of your question was talked about not to long ago...here

As for the first half of your question, I think you can set the defaults if you go to

-settings

-control def manager

-operation defaults

-go to the properties at the top of the list right under "machine group 1"

faster way:

 

go in your machine group properties

-files

in operation defaults you can edit by clicking the exclamation mark

now in tool settings you can put any default you want.

Ok I did what they said and unlocked the feeds and speeds and this still does not fix the problem. I still have to reset the speeds and feeds every time i start a new operation. Every thing else is fixed though thanks Keith and Kay!

Ive been battling this issue as well. Not only does it change your speeds and feeds, but z depths for multi depth cuts and step over for multi passes as well. Be careful and pay attention. Hopefully this will be repaired in the upcoming MU.
