Stock Update - Milling ops on Turn mill machine

[Brian Pallas]

Hello,

 

I have a job where I want to drill a hole on center, then helix bore with and endmill, and then use a boring bar.  The problem I ran into is the stock won't update after the helix boring operation to know what needs to be machined with the boring bar.  Is there a way to get the stock to update after the helix milling?  Or am I going to have to make a dummy toolpath with a flat bottom drill and ghost it to get the stock how is is supposed to be?

 

Thanks,

Brian

i think the dummy path is your answer

Yes you make a dummy lathe operation and then ghost it. In 2007 I asked this ability I think back in X3 still holding out hope we see it.

 

Still have to do this in the MT product for any milling work on a part that you are coming backs and turning afterwards. :turned:

That's what I figured.  Thanks for the responses.  Not a big deal to do the dummy path.
