Hello.
Where are the default values for Operation Parameters such as
Roughing >First Cut, Max Cut, Last Cut amt.
also the Rapid Plane and Clearance Plane an their respective values?

I have to change those values a lot and always to the same values for all my tools, I guess I should change the defaults to those I am comfortable with but still have not found them in the TechDB.

Anybody?

You can change them in the technology database in:
Mill
Features & Operations
Features & Operations (again)
click on the correct Feature Type from the pull down menu
I chose Circular Pocket
Blind
then click on Operation Parameters (button next to the pull down menu button)
there they are

Plenty more features to adjust. I've been doing it off and on for a while and still not done.

Maybe I missed something. Why don't you want to "Save Operation Plan"? That should save all of those settings for that feature.

Once you make the changes that you want to save in the Operation Parameters Page, go back to the feature that the operation is applied to. Right click on the feature and select "Save Operation Plan" and it will write all of your changes to the TechDB for that feature.

Another good use for this is if you find yourself always adding or deleting an operation that gets applied to a feature. For instance, if CAMWorks always spits out a centerdrill and you dont want it to. Or you always add another roughing operation to a pocket. If you add or subtract an operation and then "Save Operation Plan" those operations are added or subtracted from the record in the TechDB.
