I want to start using VeriCUT to inspect my parts in a little more detail, particularly checking hole depths, threads etc. I have developed a method whereby I create a CSYS at the mouth of the hole, activate the CSYS and then section the hole so I can start checking it with V-caliper. But my projects regularly have 2, 3 or even setups so I am wondering if a CSYS created in setup1 and be easily copied over to the subsequent setups?

If I understood right, just button right at CSYS do you want to copy, and "Copy"....and "Paste" in the correct setup...

Thanks for that Igor. I had no idea that you could copy & paste a CSYS. Just need to find out if the stock transition is taken into account - all the CSYS I want to copy are attached to the stock so it's possible.
Kind regards

I tried the copy & paste for CSYS and it's true, you can copy a CSYS from one set-up to the next. However, the CSYS are not re-positioned in accordance with the Stock Transition despite being attached to the Stock.
Does anyone have any other ideas? Hopefully it is going to be something simple (but being VeriCUT, I doubt it).

Bob,
1) Copy & Paste First S/U
2) Reset Model
3) Go to Play Button (Click Right Mouse Button)- Add Stop at - End Of Each Setup
4) Play Vericut First S/U (will stop on the end of 1 s/u)
5) Then use Step Button until program will jump to 2nd S/U
6) Change Program File and Tool files to 2nd s/u
7) I usually change 2nd S/U to G55 (Rename -G54- to G55 and change - G-Code offset - to G55)
8) Translate & Rotate all Models in 2nd s/u to position
9) Save, Reset and Play.

Hi Mitch.
That is pretty much what I am doing, but the CSYS do not follow the translate & rotate moves in step 7. I am bit of a VeriCUT novice and this might be a silly question, but is there any way of applying the translate & rotate to multiple models simultaneously? I have tried selecting them with CTRL pressed but the moves only apply to the last model selected.
Thanks for your help

Bob,
Yes you can move multiple models at once.
Select all models in Project Tree.
1) To Translate leave 0 0 0 in - From - Text Box, but click once on this box. (this will change Text Box to yellow color).
2) Then in Text Box - To - change numbers where you want to move (then click once and this will change Text Box color to yellow, also).
3) Last click Move button.
To Rotate
To rotate, I usually use - Angles - text box, where I put for example 0 180 0 and Enter Key ( this Rotate about Y-Axis)

Hi Mitch.
OK, I will give that a try. Thank you.
