Okay I have a part with 530 holes that needs to be 5 Axis Drilled. I made my Hole Axis for all holes using the Versurf Auto HoleAxis in minutes on separate levels. I then used 5 Axis drill with points and lines again got a toolpath in minutes.I used Safety Zone which works great. Then I post code and get about 6000 extra lines of posted code. Anyone know of a way to filter the Safety Zone moves? Short of Toolpath Editor I don't know of a way. NCI is 79.5 K with just the points and lines as the toolpath. With Safety Zone it goes to 3498.7K. Sorry that is just insane.
Short of making 530 different operation for each hole and then 530 linking moves I am not sure what else I can do to eliminate all the extra code. NX makes very nice code on these parts and I may have to give this huge project back to the customer, unless I can find a way to reduce the excess code I will have to eat my words and tell the customer sorry I cannot do the work. ITAR controlled part, but I have attached a sample file. Op 3 is more like the randomness of the real part.
