Toolpath option setting

jw.kim5 — Mon, 01 Apr 2024 04:49:38 GMT

Hi all,

Is it possible to turn on/off the default options when creating a toolpath?

For example, whenever create 3D Offset Finishing, I want to turn the 'Point separation distance' option off.

You could create a macro using the following code to run from your ribbon toolbar

IMPORT TEMPLATE ENTITY TOOLPATH TMPLTSELECTORGUI "Finishing/3D-Offset-Finishing.ptf" EDIT TOOLPATH POINTDIST 'MaxDistanceBetweenPoints.Active' '0'

Thank you for replying.

Is also there a way to modify the ppm or mac file in PowerMill 2022 folder?

Which ppm and mac are you referring to?

Actually I have no idea which ppm or mac file can do this.

I don't know deeply about ppm or mac.

Some other co-worker suggested about fix ppm or mac if there is option about I was mentioned.
