Mirroring NC path best technique

[DaleHvizdo]

I am wondering what is the best technique for mirroring a toolpath with same cutting conditions. We machine alot of mirror parts that are too large to machine parent at the same time. We need to keep all cutting conditions the same. upcuts, climb cuts and also with surface milling. If we mirror the steps u cannot suppress parents. Is there a way around this?

Thanks

Dale

If the result of the mirror is to only output those sequences that have been
mirrored without the parent sequences, then

create the cldata by selecting just those nc sequences that are required to
output. Rather than the complete Operation. You can select via the modeltree by
holding down the control key,or by Edit / Cldata / Output Set / Create.

Dave,

Using sets works for patterned sequences also.
