Machining multiple parts

Anonymous
Not applicable

Hi Guys. I know I have seen it somewhere, but I am unable to find the correct way to implement this. I have two double vises on my mill most of the time. They always have the same offsets from each other. At least within our tolerances. I always machine two or four parts at a time. I am stuck on how to machine 4 parts using the same tool on all four parts, then repeating with the next tool. This will get the most out of our tool changes.

I have 4 itterations of a part at the correct offsets now. How do I accomplish this?

Nevermind. It was easy to locate on Youtube. I knew I had seen it before. Just not as easy to find on this site. Hmm.

I am apparently still having some trouble with this.

I cannot get it to show the tool path on the other three components.

Thoughts?

I have to use the duplicate under the add new pattern command to get it to work.
