Using Parameters in Relations
You can drive NC sequence and tool parameters by other parameters or part dimensions using relations.
The NC sequence parameter syntax is:
Parameter syntax
Where
Example
PARAM_NAME:FID_#
PARAM_NAME—the parameter name
#—the internal feature ID of the NC sequence.
STEP_OVER:FID_22 = d6:1 * 0.1
PARAM_NAME:TID_ID
PARAM_NAME—the parameter name,
ID—the TOOL_ID.
STEP_OVER:FID_22 = CUTTER_RADIUS:TID_NIB1 * 1.1
If a parameter is driven by a relation, the system puts a note next to it in the parameters file. If you modify a relation-driven parameter, the parameter value is reset upon regeneration.
Options Tool Info and NC Seq Info in the Relations menu, accessible in Manufacture mode only, facilitate using tool and NC sequence parameters in relations. They display parameters (including ID) for a selected tool or NC sequence, respectively.
