PartMaker 2021 - Multiple Operations

Hey everyone,

 

My team and I are new to PartMaker and I'm wondering how everyone handles turning part setups with multiple operations. Example: I'm clamping on a 2.25" diameter round in a 3 jaw chuck. Completing half the part. Then need to pull the part out, flip, and finish the other side. Pretty simple...

 

Im using the solid for programming and extracting geometry where needed. I created the setup with the stock and applied the toolpath needed to for that operation.

For the second operation though I'm wondering how others are handling this. I brought in a second model for the second operation and positioned it where i needed it in relation to the coordinate system (since it doesnt appear I can have more then one.) I then put in all the information for that setup. I set the excess as the remaining stock and set the work shift appropriately and finish the remaining operations. The stock boundary shows correctly in the solids window, but not in the wireframe window. When i show the stock in the solids window however it only pulls the stock from the 1st setup and when I simulate it goes straight from the 1st operation and just machines through the part features that were machined on OP1. No flip and the stock is as seen from op1.

 

How is everyone doing the other setups when you not using a sub spindle to grab the part? Do you make a separate file??
