Is there a way..

[Mark VIII]

to import drills that were created in mill to the lathe paths?

i Don't think it's possible unless it's for a C-axis operation on a lathe

Directly not that I am aware of. You could export the drills to a level from the lathe tool manager then move to the correct position to make a profile usable to mill then make a drill calling that level for the profile.

is it a form drill that you are looking to use in the lathe drill tpath?

You can use the custom icon on the create new lathe tool and then set the tool type to drill, you will be able to select the geom from a level in the part file or select an external Mcam part file.

 

 

[gcode]

open up a generic mill turn machine definition

import your mill toolpaths

copy /paste from the mill library to a lathe library

Thanks guys. I'll give G-code's idea a try. I have every amec spade holder drawn for mill and hate the idea of having to do it again.
