ATP Operations

[Mr. FIxIT]

I'm entering the lovely world of ATP on a sizable panelling job for our company. Running X5 Router level 1. The question is, can I only run one operation per layer? Or is there a way to set up multiple operations on a single layer. (I.E. I have to profile the edge of each panel, OP 1 hog out material with 1/2" bit, OP 2 bevel edge with 30 degree bit, OP 3 cut panel free using 1/4" bit) Am I going to have to create individual layers for each op?

If you are using the same geometry then you can set it in your strategy manager to perform multiple operations per level. All you have to do is make a copy of the level name in the strategy manager and asign another operation to it. The order that you have the operations/levels in your strategy will determine the order that they are imported into your program.

 

Hope this Helps
