Best option for sorting drill points that have no fixed pattern (I have to drill and tap 50-250 M3 holes in all off our components).The drill point sort option never seems to take the shortest route. Does anyone know how the points are sorted? Some other software that I have used seemed a lot more tidy and efficient. Cheers ------------------ Greg Muirhead

Help,any tips,ideas,settigs would be greatly appreciated When pocketing a resonable complex shape with multiple islands , the tool often back tracks over areas that have already been machined to get to un machined areas, which at the end of the day is cycle time. As some of our production runs are around 500-5,000 we need to save those minutes - seconds. Cheers ------------------ Greg Muirhead

May be somone nows off a post tutorial book, somthing like "Posts for dummys" Thats what I need Cheers ------------------ Greg Muirhead

How can keep tool down when finish path of pocket has lead in/out
GREG replied to cam-home's topic in Industrial Forum
I programme pockets much the same way and here is an example of my settings for a pocket with top of stock at Z0 Check your clearance plane to absolute 3mm,retact to incrememtal 0.5mm,feed plane to incremental 0.25mm,and depth cuts to keep tool down. works for me ------------------ Greg Muirhead -
Thanks Kennith Thats the first part solved. Now that I have edited the toolpath as geometry, can I turn it back into a toolpath? (ie-something I can post-prosess ) Hope this is more clear,my American isn't to good.

Is there a way of turning toolpaths into geometry (edit path ect with drawing editor) and then return geometry back to toolpaths. I know the first step can be done but can not remember how I fluked it last time I tryed. Cheers Greg ------------------ Greg Muirhead

Thanks James The CMM is a Giddings & Lewis model D12 We are running it using Measuremax software on a PC . We do have offline programming soft ware, but find it far to time consuming & complicated for the Cmm operator to use. Anything off help would be much appreciated. Regards Greg Muirhead
