About Sheet Metal Manufacturing Populate
The SMM POPULATE dialog box contains the following tabs that enable you to perform three main functions.
• Populate—Populates the NC sequences from the master part to all of its instances. This allows you to cut all the parts on a worksheet after creating NC sequences on the master parts.
• Subroutine—Subroutines the NC sequences by reducing the CL data file size by defining and dynamically selecting subroutines.
• Order—Orders the NC sequence output by defining an optimum flow of tools for the workpiece.
