X6 dynamic core mill

I need some help chaining with the new method. In the past (X5 & below) I would first chain the white lines, then chain 2 would be the green lines (& the 1 white line that makes it a closed chain). I need to cut inside the green lines (but start oustide the white line that closes the chain). Can I still use the method I am familiar with? if so, how?

Thanks!

In the chain options window that pops up you need to select "multiple machining regions". your green chain (+ the 1 white line that closes the chain) needs to be picked for "machining regions" and your outer chain (white one) needs to be picked for "avoidance regions".

You beat me to it Keith. I think it still works the old way too though.

+1 Keith, and it does still work the old way.

It doesn't work the old way....if you chain the 2 chains as you would have in the past it won't respect the stock. You need to make 1 the "machining region" and the other "avoidance region".

Meet me in the yard at 3pm and we'll settle this.

It DOES work as it did originally. You just have to choose "single region" and then select your multiple chains as you had in the past. My experience so far is that it uses the old method for determining stock vs part.

 

using multiple regions requires you to think a little different. I havent gotten used to it yet.
