toolpath automate macros

[Sparewh33l]

Hi there guys
I use Alphacam for nesting basic 2d drawings , we have 2 Different machine that use exactly the same parts but i would have to copy the files and manually change the other machines tool path data ( ex.final depth changes from 13.9mm to 0.7mm and tool number 42 to tool number 1). This is a tedious process and takes a lot of time for exactly the same part , is there a function in alpha cam i can use to simplify this process , or can a macro be created to automate this process . Do you guys have something similar you guys use or do ?
Please help
Kind regards

Hello,

Try advance toolpath editor. You can switch on this in add ins menu in a alphacam.

you can create different machining styles, and then just apply the one you want
