Modifying an Operation

Double-clicking on an Operation tile in the Operations list will recreate all the Process tiles that were in the Process list when that operation was created. It will also select the geometry and reposition the machining markers (if any were used) as they were when the operation was processed. Any operations created from the same Process list as the selected operation will also become selected. The Do It button will be replaced by the Redo button. Clicking on the Redo button after the changes have been made to the process information will replace all selected operations with the modified operations.

Changing specific information about an operation after it has been created can be accomplished using the Operation Data item found by right-clicking on an Operation tile. Operation data allows the user to change and lock values, such as clearance planes and feeds and speeds. Locked items will NOT be affected if the operation is reprocessed. This is useful when multiple operations are created from a single Process tile because changes can be made to one operation without changing the other operations created from the same process. For more information, refer to "The Operations List" on page 130.
