Hello All,
Hello All
Any idea make assembly tools from database?
I not understand how is possible, on a powerful software CAM, be so complicated, make simple and basic assembly milling tools.
Works good with just one Shank and one Holder. The problem start with modular tools, if have a modular tool in library, how add a Sha
@celso.amaral I have created tools like this many times. You need to create a curve that represents that complex shank, and use that curve to define the shank. Just the same as you did to create the holder. Have a look at my screen grab below.
Do you have the tool data so you can get a curve from it?
This is possible through the tool database. You would need to save the holder components to a known location as a *.pmlth file instead of a *.dgk file.
You would then need to import or create the tool into PowerMill and then build the holder by using the import method in the tool setting's page.
Here is a useful article that shows how in case you are not aware.... https://knowledge.autodesk.com/support/powermill/learn-explore/caas/sfdcarticles/sfdcarticles/how-to...
Also, I am pretty sure that there have been multiple requests to have this ability directly in the database. Maybe a good idea to add to that request by creating a case through your Autodesk Account.
I totally agree. I think this functionality would be a great option within the tool database. Unfortunately, it is not possible at this time.
You should request this directly to Autodesk, through your account. Perhaps it will be added in a future version.
