How to create program start point automatic in FeatureCAM - Wirecut
When i make wire program "feature die" with curve circle (arc) and inside there is a point. Automatically the program "start" will start from that point.
When I use the contour and inside there is a point (arc), how to get automatic "start" from that point?
see picture :
please advice.
thanks

Hi @Anonymous,
Welcome to Autodesk Community!
I am not sure if I understand the issue correctly. I have created a 2-axis die feature selecting all the circles and used a contour strategy. It has always takes a start point from center. Please take a look in the attached fm file and let meknow if I am missing something.
Thank You.

Thanks a lot for the answer Mr. @abhishek.juvekar.
Ok, when feature model is circle, it can be automatic.
But when it looks like a box, it can not be automated.
Like the example below:
Is it possible that it can be made automatic?
Considering when the object is more than fifty,
it will be very time consuming for the process of making the program if it can not be automatic.
Please Advice.
Thanks

Hi @Anonymous,
We can't set the default start point in Wire. It was decided by FearureCAM itself. However, it has also provided an ability to put start point wherever you need. You can simply pick the location of start point and it doesn't seem to be time consuming. Isn't it helping?
Thank You

Hi @Anonymous,
I apologize as I didn't understand it at the first instance. Now I got your point but unfortunately default start point at center of profile is still a wish. This feature request has been submitted to the development team and is being investigated and considered for a possible resolution.
Thank You.

Yes i am very thankful for the reply from Mr. @juvekaa.
During this time I set the start point by manual select.
When I am working on a project where more than 100 units, I have to select manual one by one, this is what causes the process of making the program long.
Maybe fore there can be a solution for this (can automatic like a circle).
Once again I thank you very much for the answer.
Suciono.
