multi ops

:x I have been trying to run multiple programs for example I have op1 which is a mill g-code program using the vericut fan15m.ctl and 4hmtb.mch files, op2 and 3 are Lathe program but I am using UG CLS these two operation have two different spindle axis and also use a different *.TLS is there a way in vericut to save one *.usr with all this information and have everything work properly even if I have to tweek the *.TLS that would be fine to.

  Whenever I run multiple operations with multiple programs, fixtures, tool lists etc , I label EVERYTHING and just blank and unblank as I go.  I also  save everything related to that particular job in it's own part folder, then It's not so bad to jump from component to component.

Hope this helps.

Re: multi ops

In the same User file or VERICUT session, you cannot change the machining type fron G-Code to APT.

But there is a workaround. Create a User file for each operations. Then:

1- cut the first operation and do not Reset
2- Open the second User file, VERICUT will prompt you to Reset or Merge, select "Merge"
3- The cut part from the first operation is now in the second User file. You might have to re-orient the cut stock.
4- Press Rewind (not Reset)
5-Cut
6- repeat step 2-5 for subsequent operations

Note: you can save an In-Process file after the step 4, allowing to come back to this step in your machining.
