Stock Flip Questions

Recommended Posts

Good Day,

I created a part for our lathe complete with a stock flip, after the fact I wanted to change the order of my setups.

What is the best way to do this with minimal re-programming?

I have my programs in operations groups as follows:

Setup-1

Stock Flip

Setup -2

I swapped Setup-1 with Setup-2 but the masks are still applied to the Setup-1 programs from the stock flip, I'm sure I could post and everything would be fine but the MC file is kind of messed up.

My guess is that I need to delete the stock flip and re-create it put the geometry on a new level and re-select geometry.

Anyone else have a better method?

TIA,

Greg

Try this:

 

Reset your order of operations.

Delete the stock flip

Create a new stock flip in its place.

Keep only the ops before the flip active. Just regen those ops.

Don't regen the ops after  the flip till you reset the geometry.

 

Stock flip does not let go of its buffer once set. Just have to start that op over to get it to reset. Even then it hangs once  in a while.

A work around that I found is to use Unblank Entity and it will bring back missing geometry because of the stock flip.

It's not perfect but I didn't have to reprogram anything I just moved around the order of the programs. I use separate levels for setup 1 and 2 geometry and make sure what ever side I'm working on have that level selected.
