Hello,


I want to use two tools ie. one for roughing and another for finishing in the same operation like volume machining using window.How do I do it?


Thanks

Hi Sudhish,


It is always one tool per sequence. But, you can have as many sequences as you need in an operation.


So, you can have a roughing volume sequenceusing tool1, then a finishing volume sequence (with the same reference)using tool2.


A very quick way to get this is to make the roughing sequence, then copy it, and change the tool and parameters as needed to get the finishing toolpath.


Good luck.
