Hi,
I just started to use Lathe in MC. I did a lot of milling in MC last years and Lathe before on other softwares. I can't hide my surprise how bad MC Lathe is in comparation with Mill. Toolpaths are good, only retraction direction is missing. but plane logic it terrible. why they don't just do what they have in mill??
but however.
I have many different parts and many of them are very similar. In milling I would just have them in same file and just copy complete operation group and assign new WCS and geometry and I would be done.
but in Lathe even if I copy my operations in the same file and want to machine back side in another setup it is impossible to change WCS of already created operation. so I guess that importing of operations in lathe has no any sense and can't work anyhow.
or I'm missing something??? anybody knows how to change WCS of operation???
