NC Manufacturing Infrastructure
New Functionalities
- ROTABL Output for
Machine Instruction
- The Output Axes Moves Only check box in the Machine
Editor dialog box helps to generate APT output with some
user-defined word in X,Y,Z,I,J,K axis mode without the CATIA0
matrix.
- Remove Coincidental Point between Machining Operations
- The Remove coincidental point between operations check
box is available in Tool motions tab of Generate NC
output interactively dialog box. This check box helps to
output the coincidental points even if the end point of a machining
operation and start point of the subsequent machining operation are
exactly the same.
Enhanced Functionalities
- Extend Last
Selected Edge Command in EdgeSelection Tool bar
- You can add an extra element to the last selected edge
through the Extend Last Selected Edge command in the
Edge Selection tool bar. The extension can be controlled by a
given distance or by a limiting element.
- NC Macros
- For the
Ramping up to plane macro, the slope no longer goes
down when the tool path does, thus preventing plunges into the material.
- For
HSM macros, a new parameter lets you control the Arc Angle
value.
Customizing Settings
-
Lathe deviation (%) stock radius
- You can manage the video lathe simulation accuracy through this
setting, depending on the size of part.
-
Display Color for Spindle Rotation Arrow and Arrow Head
- You can set the display color for the spindle rotation arrow and
arrow head.
- Compute Tool Path
- Select this check box to manage disable invalid Machining Operations and
continue till the end of the Machining Operations list versus stop at first
error when computing a tool path.
