Keep the cutting parameters you set for an operation as a preset on its tool, so you can apply them again on later programs.
Before you start
The tool must be in a tool library you can edit. For tools from CloudNC libraries, there's no save button.
Save the preset
- In the Program stage, click the operation.
- In the operation's details, click Edit cutting parameters.
- Set the values you want. See Edit cutting parameters for an operation.
- Click Save to library. For a session tool from your CAM package, the button reads Save to session library.
- Enter a Preset name. It must be unique for the tool.
- Click Save as new to add a preset, or Save existing to overwrite the preset selected in Source. Save existing only appears when Source is a preset.
You see Preset saved to tool library. Click Done to close Edit cutting parameters and keep the values on the operation.
Saving to session tools
Session tools come from the part open in your CAM package and belong to that part only. A preset saved there shows Preset saved to Session tools for this part only. To keep it, save the session tools as a tool library. See Save session tools as a tool library.
