Can Autodesk prevent Manual NC Codes to be reordered when selecting "reorder to minimize tool change"? I am running 2 parts on a Haas mill with a Midaco pallet changer. Each pallet has 2 parts that are the same although they are setup differently. The reason they aren't set up the same is to keep a notch on the part towards the outside of the pallet to keep the chips from piling up. The 2nd pallet has the vises positioned backwards so it easy to open on the outside of the machine. The reason I don't want to reorder manual NCs is so I can have setup 1 for part 1 with a Manual NC pass through command for doing a pallet change then jump to the program for that pallet. In the example the Manual NC in setup 3 is posted right after the Manual NC in setup 1.
Setup 1(Pallet 1)
- Manual NC pass through (N11111 and safe start commands so it doesn't start machining on the wrong pallet)
- Drill holes
- Rough bore holes
- Finish bore holes
- Mill notch
Setup 2(Pallet 1)
- Drill holes
- Rough bore holes
- Finish bore holes
- Mill notch
Setup 3(Pallet 2)
- Manual NC pass through ( Pallet change)
- Drill holes
- Rough bore holes
- Finish bore holes
- Mill notch
Setup 4(Pallet 2)
- Drill holes
- Rough bore holes
- Finish bore holes
- Mill notch
- Manual NC(Pallet change then jump to N11111)
I want setups 1 & 2 to be reordered to minimize tool changes and also 3 & 4. If I could at least prevent Manual NCs to be reordered I could probably get it to work. If Fusion could add an option for pallet change in between different setups. When posting, it would reorder multiple setups that are both before and after the pallet change but wouldn't reorder the "before" setups with the "after" setups.
