    How Do I Repeat?

    Chad,
    I've posted code for a part that I'm going to make. I'm making 62 pieces. They will be on a fixture. How can I repeat the code, but with a toolchange in between parts? What I'm looking for, is one program that will allow all 62 parts to be ran.

    I know that I can copy and paste, but there is probably a better way.

    Thanks in advance.

    Hi Rob,
    Use REPEAT MACHINING, this operation can be found under the Machining Menu item on the main DCAM screen.
    No post modifications required. This can repeat a series of operations in X, Y and also Circular repeats.
    This and more info including some screen shots is available in the answers to a multiple part machining question I asked a while back (on page 2 now)
    Here is a link to the thread:
