    Question One tool, Multiple Offsets in Inventor CAM

    I know this has been covered before but was only answered regarding fusion 360. Is there a way to put toolpaths together from multiple work offsets to avoid tool changes. Copy and paste editing is too cumbersome and too easy to create errors.

    I know you can have multiple 'setups'.
    So setup #1 can be toolpath in one 0 position.
    Then setup #2 can be another tool path from a different 0 position.
    Then setup #3, setup #4 etc. Can't remember if it puts them all together in one post or not.

    You can deselect 'tool change' in the tool pages.

    Yes it does indeed work as dazp1976 says. I use Inventor CAM and you can many setups with different zero positions and it will post as one continuous file it only stops if there is a different tool otherwise it just runs beautifully.

    Ditto. Select the setup folders and post. The G5x offsets will be posted with the same tool. Alternately you can use the same setup and use the "transform toolpath" options but you will have to know where your setups are outside of your machine offsets.
