Turning Solid Tools

Hi

 

I am trying to show solid tools on ModuleWorks but I don't know why only the holder is shown and not the insert.

 

I attach two pictures 

 

SOLID_TOOL.png is shaded in Creo

SOLID_TOOL_2.png is in ModuleWorks. The holder is ok but the insert not

 

Both Holder and insert have a CSYS called INSERT 

Holder has the parameter : VERICUT_TYPE set to HOLDER

Insert has the parameter : VERICUT_TYPE set to INSERT

 

Any idea why?

 

Thanks

 

Marco

Hello,

A reason could be if you use sub-assembly in your tool design. Sub assemblies are not supported by Moduleworks.

I tried with a simple asm with two components, the tool and the insert.

You can find the asm in the reply to MaheshSh

 

What is strange is that always the insert is not shown.

 

Probably I am missing some parameters

 

Thanks
