WF3 - Coolant parameter "missing"

I've noticed that upon Retrieving saved MFG_Params files (*.drl, *.mil) the Coolant line is always set to OFF, even it's been saved with Coolant ON (it is saved ON the actual file - I have checked that).

Does anyone know what causes that?

Thanks,
 
I do not have WF3, but maybe try changing the parameter to something else like FLOOD,THRU, ETC.Maybe this problem arises with "ON". I never use ON, I allways use FLOOD, THRU, MIST, etc. This gives you more options in the post processing of the NC file.
 
Wildfire 3 now carries the COOLANT_OPTION with the tool as a parameter.


New parameters for WF3 tools are:


HOLDER_DIA


HOLDER_LEN


COOLANT_OPTION


COOLANT_PRESSURE


SPINDLE_SENSE


FLUTE_LENGTH

Hmmm, mayby that's what is overriding the COOLANT setting in the MAN_Param page.But why would they double it? Oh well.
Thanks!
