MC 2020 "dependencies"

Recommended Posts

I just updated to MC 2020 and so far am enjoying the subtle changes (unpopular opinion I know 😝). I noticed a new tab labeled "dependencies" in the toolpaths manager.

Can anyone explain to me the function of this key and how it can be used to better my programming / experience?

It essentially links connected toolpaths (ie. rest mills, transforms, etc..) So say you had a rest mill which is dependent on another operation, if you select 'selection' under the dependencies and enable it, you'll notice when you select one toolpath, it selects all associated toolpaths as well. Same thing with 'regeneration'. It comes in handy especially when you have large programs.
