Restoring Drill Operation Default

roger — Thu, 24 Feb 2022 14:37:45 GMT

Recently, while in the CAM operation tree, I right clicked on a drill operation an inadvertently hit the "Make Default" option. Now, all of my drill operations use the settings in place at the time for that particular drill operation. The "Cycle Type" no longer uses information from the tool type to preselect the cycle. In other words, when I used a tap, the Cycle Type would already be selected as "Tapping" or when I used a ream the Cycle Type would be preselected as "Reaming - feed out". Now, all tools use the settings in place at the time I hit "Make Default". How do I restore the drill operation defaults so that it once again recognizes the tool type?

Thanks,

Roger

delete a "drill" from windows registry in Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\HSMWorks\HSMWorks\defaults

I couldn't really follow that path reference. I don't see anything similar on my computer. I take it there is not a process within the open Inventor application?

To get to that area, you need to open the Registry Editor (RegEdit) app. It will look something like this:
