Z-MIN into Process Manager

[John5]

Curious about Z_MIN information being available into the process manager.


Currently, have the process manager organized as a set up sheet at the CNC.


Working in a prototype setting and being able to set the length of the tool from the collect would be and excellent information.

Ok,
Been there done that I would STRONGLY recommend that you use drawings for setup sheets as they provide more robust functionality. I just checked (WF3) and didn't see any way to quickly add the parameter to the process manager.

If you wish to use drawings (and tables) to produce setup sheets (the more intended method). The following is a list of the parameters I use in my tables. One of these just so happens to be what you are looking for

Ok,

Been there done that .....

Oh yeah, that's the type of response we like to see, VERY informative and to the point. Good job, Mr_NC. Thanks!
