Feeds / Speeds - Material Change

Post by GreggT »

Is there a way to change all of the feeds/speeds at once or at least for each tool. I have a part that I am running in AL that I need to change over to run in SS. What is the best way to aproach this? I can't believe that I will have to change every Feeds/Speeds in each operation. This part has about 75 operations. What am I missing?

Gregg,

There is no mechanism in VM 5.0 that will allow you to do a global edit on a set of operations. However, this is a good idea. The user should be able to select a set of operations and right click to get a properties dialog. Anything that can be changed globally should be allowed. Similar to the properties dialog to change file properties in windows explorer. Allowable edits could be
1) Delete
2) Change tool
3) Change Feeds/Speeds
4) Change Clearance Plane
5) Change Regions

We can add this to our enhancement list.
