Thanks guys,
I havn't been able to try many new things lately. What is batch mode useful for...what does it exactly do? Any more little tricks that could help out when modifying paths? I'm doing it constantly. It's one thing learning a new program but then add having to learn how to toolpath carbon...Sometimes it seems like I repath a part a hundred times trying to keep this stuff from chipping and each time I go in there I'm looking for the way to do what I need to do...My head feels like it's going to explode by the end of the day. Good practice I guess but very frustrating. Right now I'm making geometry from edges of Inventor solids and cutting everything in 2D cycles. I just don't think the solids machining will be advanced and controllable enough to do what I need to do...Do you guys agree or disagree? There's a lot of cutting into the part a bit, then coming back at it the other way to avoid chipping...a lot of dancing around the part. Also, is the solids machining reliable enough to trust the paths that EC regenerates after the inventor solid part has been revised and EC reloads the model and updates the toolpaths?....trying to do too much without ever having any formal instruction...so many questions...just wish I could remember them all.
Thanks again...  |
