Manufacturing parameters in model tree

Hello all !

I added parameters to the model tree for my manufacturing models. I managed to add cutter compensation, spindle speed, and feed rate. I wanted to add plunge and ramp feed rate, but I didn't find them. Are those two last parameters available to display in model tree ? Or my eyes are not awake this morning ?

The thing I found nice about adding parameters to model tree is that we can edit them without editing the sequence itself.

you can do a search for the parameters when you are in the machine parameter area by typing the name of the parameter then select it and move it into your displayed

parameters and then you can move them where you want in the list with the up and down arrows as well as set the column width.

this is what my model tree looks like after setting the columns and saving the tree.config file.

Thanks Steve for the help, I found everything I needed.

Another question, do you know if it's possible to customize the names of the columns ? Because as you can see below, in french, every parameter begins with the word "VITESSE". There's "VITESSE DE BROCHE", "VITESSE DE PLONGEE", "VITESSE DE RAMPE", and to see the entire title of the column I should set the width to about 20.

One more question.

Is it possible to have a specific model tree configuration loaded for my manufacturing files and another one for my part files ?

I mean that the default model tree is loaded according to the config.pro option mdl_tree_cfg_file, but this allows only to have the same model tree everywhere !! And I don't need the same kind of information in a part file or a manufacturing file.
