Operation

The Operation options let you customize operation settings for Additive Manufacturing Apps Common Services.

This page discusses:

Default Values

Use default values of the current program
  • When cleared, creates the operations with the default settings of Machining.
  • When selected, creates the operations with the values used in the current Manufacturing Program:
    • The values and units of attributes at the creation step of an operation are set to the values and units of the last edited and validated operation whatever its type.
Important: When operations are created, two steps are executed for parameters initialization:
  • The first step is the Default Values setting. As described above, values are stored after each operation creation and reused for any newly created operation.
  • The second step consists in setting specific parameters according to the operation type. For example, some of parameters of Z-Level operations (such as Offset on part) are initialized relative to values set in features like Rework Areas and Slope Areas. This second step of parameter initialization overrides the first step.
  • If a formula is set in the first step, it is not removed in the second step: it is just deactivated.

By default, this check box is selected.

When Copying

Duplicate geometry links
  • When selected, duplicates the geometry links in a copied operation.
  • When cleared, lets you define the geometry for the copied operation.
Note: When this option is selected, if you copy an operation that references a machining feature (such as Machining Area, Slope Area, or Rework Area), the feature is not actually duplicated in the copied operation. However, the copied operation references the initial feature - this helps to factorize the geometry definition.

By default, this check box is selected.

Display

Display tool path of all operations
When selected, displays the tool paths of all operations in the current Part Operation.

By default, this check box is cleared.

User Interface

Legacy Interface
When selected, panels are displayed with the legacy user interface when creating or editing a machining operation.
3DEXPERIENCE Interface
When selected, panels are displayed with the 3DEXPERIENCE user interface when creating or editing a machining operation.
Run Workflow When Creating a Deposition Operation
The workflow is run on all mandatory definition elements of the selected machining operation.

By default, This check box is selected.

Display Tooltip Images in Deposition Operation Panels
When selected, tooltip images are displayed when hovering over certain parameters in machining operation panels.

By default, This check box is selected.

Compute Tool Path

Disable invalid MO and Continue Until End of Program
Lets you disable nonvalid machining operations and indicates that the tool path computation must continue until the end of the program.

By default, this check box is cleared.

Transition Feedrate If Not Defined on Operation

Use the feedrate of transition motion defined on the clearance macro

Use the feedrate of the transition motion defined on the clearance macro

By default, this check box is selected.

When Selecting

Keep the selection order
When selected, item selection order in the tree is taken into account. When unselected, the programming order (which is visible in the tree) is taken into account.

By default, this check box is cleared.
