This task illustrates how to
review NC manufacturing data. No sample is delivered for this scenario: you can use any CATProcess similar to the one shown below. |
||
1. | Enter the NC Manufacturing Review workbench.
Click File > Open to select a CATProcess that includes a Manufacturing
Program with at least one machining operation. The PPR tree appears. |
|
2. | Double click the machining operation in the tree. The operation's dialog box appears. | |
3. | The properties of the operation are organized in tab
pages. You can browse and, under certain conditions, edit these
properties. To end the consultation of the pocketing data, just click Cancel to close the machining operation dialog box. |
|
4. | Click the Import APT, Clfile or NC code
or right-click the program and select Import APT, Clfile or NC code
file. The NC File Import dialog box appears. |
|
5. | Select the type of NC data file to import using the combo
and specify the file to import.
Click OK to import the specified file. |
|
The PPR tree is updated with the manufacturing
information of the imported file. NC data objects appear in the
Manufacturing Program for each tool change in the imported file. All tools referenced in the imported NC file appear in the Resources List. Note that you can replay the imported APT file using the contextual menu command. There is also the possibility of editing the tool path using contextual menu commands. |
