Play Path

[pgf545]

We just switched to Creo 2 and I am struggling with play path. I used to be able to do play path, pick the file name and a it would open a dialog box that I could control the speed. It will still open the box if I go through the Process Manager. It will still run my CL file but I cannot control the speed so it goes real slow.What am I missing?

Thanks Bernie

Bernie,

I think that the cutting feed is too slow.  Maybe you made a mistake by defining the "cut data" for you tool and you entered 0.1 mm/min in stead of 0.1 mm/tooth.

Then the feed is very slow and you can not accelerate it enough by the sliding bar.

Instead of play path from a CL file move over to the model tree right click on the operation and click play path.  That will allow you to control your speed with the slider.

Thanks Nick, I have been doing that with no issues, but sometimes I will only do a CL file for a few sequences (set) and that is where the issue is. I used to be able to do it in earlier versions but I guess Creo2 doesn't do that anymore.

oh i understand now you can also highlight just the sequences you want in the model tree and play those.

Yeah that would work, didn't even think about that.... Thanks for the help

Glad to help.  I really like that option when i need to run vericut on just a few sequence to check for leftover material.
