    copying surface roughing operations

    Hey guys,

    I was wondering if there us a way to use the same surfaces and boundries with out having to re-pick them...I'm using a surface rough pocket on one operation and I want to do a finish parallel path on the same surface....is there a way to do this with out reselecting the surfaces and boundries?

    Create your finish toolpath and grab any surfaces. After it's done processing, grab the geometry from the surface rough operation, hold down the mouse while you drag it down to the Finish operations geometry, Drop it & regenerate.
