Craig,
Another way you can do it without messing with your site files would be to enter the number of decimals you need and save the file as a XML just like I showed in the video, but then instead of getting the fields populated automatically you can go to the menu “Edit -> Copy From Tool -> All -> Roughing” or “Finish” – It depends on what you set in the tool manager (Please refer the red arrow in the 1st pic) – After doing this, the NC-Sequence parameters CUT_FEED, STEP_DEPTH and STEP_OVER will be populated with the values you set in the tool manager.
You can do it independently as well: “All” for all parameters, “Spindle” for SPINDLE_SPEED, “Feed” for CUT_FEED, “Depth” for both STEP_DEPTH and STEP_OVER and “Misc” for coolant, custom parameters, spindle direction, etc…
Alternatively, you can get the fields populated automatically by using this config.pro option: mfg_param_auto_copy_from_tool – It’s better and you don’t have to mess with relations in your site files. I personally use this last one in my config.pro files
mfg_param_auto_copy_from_tool All
Or
mfg_param_auto_copy_from_tool Misc
Or
mfg_param_auto_copy_from_tool Cutting
Works like a charm!
