Defining Tool Change Position  

NC Machine Tool Builder allows the user to define a tool change position.
Open the V4Axis_Machine.CATProduct file from the  online/mtbug_C2/samples/V5/4AxisMachine directory.  In addition:

  1. Click Tool Change Position .

    The Jog dialog box is displayed.

  2. Use the Jog dialog box or manipulators on the geometry to set the machine in the desired position for tool change.

  3. In the Applicative frame, select a Activated or Deactivated for specific parts.

  4. Click the Close button.

    If you manipulate the machine into an unreachable position, an information window appears.
    Clicking the Close or Apply Position button sets the position for the machine.  It remains the tool change position until you re-do the command and set a new position.
