[Cl...] Posted March 20, 2019 Author Share Posted March 20, 2019 We have, and are getting more part "families". The geometry is the same, part number to part number, but the sizes vary. Right now we are writing a separate program for each part number. That leads me to a question. Do I need the class to set this up in PCM? (one program for multiple size parts).

[Ro...] Posted March 20, 2019 Share Posted March 20, 2019 Yes. One of the things they taught in the class i took was "parafiles", which is to say reading values off a seperate text file located externally. So you'll set a variable for your Z height, then when you start the program it will ask you which program you are running and then it will go search the parafile for the correct value for the part you are running, and everything will be set. Maybe later you can use some If Statements and have the program set itself without a prompt. anything is possible. But my rule is that if i can sneak out and get to some training, i always go for it. I haven't been able to trick anybody into sending me to So Cal or Germany for training, but i always start my request with "well Brighton has a class open in 6 months, but i see Lake forest California has an opening 3 weeks earlier. We should get that done as soon as possible" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
