Hi guru's,
Is anybody running into the problem with Manufacturing Parameter files not
accepting values for sketched holes with modified tools?
For example I have an 82 degree 1 1/4" Countersink tool with a .4" point
diameter.
I have a part with a couple .406" diameter holes through .459" thick
material. There is an 82 degree countersink .4" deep for each of these
holes.
When I create the .406" hole with a carbide drill and use an existing
parameter file with values like (TOOL_ROUGH_SPINDLE_RPM) so that it uses the
tool setup Speeds-Feeds. It gives me no errors and all the values go into
the Parameter automatically.
But when I create the c-sink seq. I get all these errors that say that those
are all invalid values.
Example:
Invalid value 'TOOL_ROUGH_AXIAL_DEPTH' for keyword 'BREAKOUT_DISTANCE'.
Invalid value 'TOOL_ROUGH_FEED_RATE' for keyword 'CUT_FEED'.
Invalid value 'TOOL_ROUGH_SPINDLE_RPM' for keyword 'SPINDLE_SPEED'.
The parameter file will work for all my other drills, but this 82 degrees
c-sink.
I have to go into the parameter file and input each value. I could do that
but if I change the tool parameters the seq. parameter will not update since
there is a numerical value in there. That also defeats the whole process of
creating a DB for each tool.
I have my material called out in the Operation window.
I have the speeds and feeds for the tool in question linked to the material
DB.
Am I missing something with linking tool parameters to drive the seq.
parameter file? Or is this just a bug?
