Multiple Setups / Multiple Operations?

dave_hardy7D9TT — Wed, 30 Oct 2024 22:39:12 GMT

So I can find multiple posts, vids, etc about how to do this 6-8-10 years ago, but nothing recent. Looks like it all was based on multiple setups, but I can't find the option to do that in the recent software. I'm running HSMWorks 2023 inside Solidworks 2023.

I can select multiple WCS to pattern. But I want to do Operation 1 in my G54 vise, then flip it and do operation 2 in my G55 vise. It looks like I can probably get it to spit out two different programs and then combine them in notepad, but that sure feels clunky when there's vids from 2015 that show that it used to be possible. Example - https://www.youtube.com/watch?app=desktop&v=c1tOZp3aHz0

Any wisdom?

Hi -

What part are you not seeing available -- the ability to duplicate the setup? I'm quite sure that that should still be available in the release that you have.

Sorry, but this video is the biggest nonsense I've seen in a long time! The only thing it does is update 3D operations to a different model (except face milling, but that only takes the outside edge from the current model).

Change "WKS-Aufruf" and give it a try

Just use the WCS value on top (in the Picture is it 0) option in the setup at Postprocess
You have to postprocess both Setups with different WCS in it. Then you can give it a try to use the sorting ...

I'm not seeing setups as an option at all. There are jobs, but not setups. I can do multiple jobs, but then it doesn't want to post multiple jobs.

The video is from Inventor CAM (HSM) where there are "setups". In HSMWorks, these are still called "jobs" -- same concept.
