Hello,
In FeatureCam I can assign different cutting data to a tool based on material however in PowerMill I would have to do this with tool families or stock materials which seems to change all tools based on the last entry. There are several variables that effect cutting data so I don't see having a "one size fits all based off of surface speed" being realistic.
From looking through the forums I see that people have used the user defined settings to define cutting data but that seems hard to manage.
I could certainly create redundant copies of my templates with only the cutting data being different but that seems tough to manage too.
Before getting too involved I have some questions.
Is the powermill database going to be changing to be more functional like featurecam?
If not then how do you manage different cutting data for hundreds of tools without creating dozens of copies?
Master template with macros to populate cutting data based on user selection?
Thank you,
Cody
