Hi Group,
I am following Tormach's Sprutcam video on Hole Machining to the letter but I can not get this to work easily. When I add the curves to be holed and set up all the parameters accordingly, I get the drill to only spot surface the part. This is what I see in the simulation and sure enough, on the real run as well.
The only way in which I can get this to happen is if I go inside the job and change the Z MIN to the actual coordinate, in this case -2. The default is "By Feature". On the video, the teacher never goes and changes the Z MIN and I want to be able to not have to do this as sometimes I have a lot of holes to process and really I do not want to have to go hole by hole changing the Z MIN. I know you should be able to select all the job items and change them all at once, but what if all the holes are different? I want the IGES input to specify the actual travel. I wouyld expect a CAM SW to be able to extract this information! Or am I tripping?
I am attaching my part so that you can tell me what I am doing wrong. Thanks for any insight on this matter!
