SRT, to be clear, if you actually move the solid model within Onecnc's cyberspace, then you will have to create a new "nc process" to get the updated positions. A simple "edit operation" within Onecnc's Nc manager will not incorporate toolpath alterations except as pertains to the size of the tool, or the depth of cut or the stepover, etc. The re-selection of the profile or model in its new position to be cut is not part of the "edit process" function.Originally posted by SRT
Ocassionally these center solid machined locators have to be re-machined due to clamping deformations which occur etc.,etc. , now the X0 if programed as a grouped model would need to be changed to a lesser distance because of the material removed on the locators. How much of an effort would that be using the move function (I suppose) to go thru the program to change all of those in comparison to edge finding all the actual offset values. If in fact that would even be the way that you would suggest to do it? I know it takes a lot of time to use the edgefind method, but this is where your solids experience comes in, I don't know how much difficulty there is to change the solid drawing to accomplish the same thing or how many times it may needed to be reprogrammed to tweek it in. That is one of the type of decisions that would be necessary to make, in the solid thought process changes vs. as I'm now doing it. Thanks. [/B]
