Multiple programs one post?

[pp-TG]

Is it Posible to program multiple parts in MC at the same time and have it post out into different programs?

I tried programming an assembelly and wanted the parts to post sepratlly but they don't i even did each part under a seperate work group and gave them different program numbers in MC but still they came out as one.....

Is this possible or iam i trying to do the imposibble?

I have MC V9.1

In your operations manager, open the "+" on your operation and the last box will say "post" (under the geometry). You can assign different NCI names for each operation and then the NC program will inherit the NCI name without doing single posts. PM if this doesn't work.

give each program group a separate nci name and they will post as different programs

There a couple of different ways that I do this. If the part is drawing with the same x/y datum you can hold the control key down and click on each segment you would like to post. It will ask if you want to post all the segments, just hit no and continue.

If you have the part drawing seperately make sure you set a new wcs x/y/z zero point on the different part. When creating this you will also need to assign it a different work offset (G54/G55). But you still will post them the way I described in the first paragraph. That is the way I do anyway. You can also seperate your operations by creating a new toolpath group and naming it what you would like.

Maybe this will help.
