Just curious as to how others approach doing multiple setups. Lets say, for simplicity sake, you have a 2 operation part on a vertical mill, both setups share some tools. Currently what I do is make a machine group for OP1, and then another machine group for OP2. If you are making one part, then you are done. Lets say you are making 200 parts... I then make another machine group, lets call it ALL OPS. Then comes the tedious task of dragging operations from op1 & op2 to this machine group, keeping tools in sequence, ect. This works OK, till you make need to make a change....then you must remember to make the change in the original operation and in the copied operation. Not terrible on a simple part, but can get cumbersome in a hurry. Is there any way to tie 2 operations together so when you make a change to one it updates the other? I suppose one could use transform for all the operations in the "ALL OPS" group, and not really transform the path, tho that could potentially open a new can of worms... How do some of you do work with this?
