model associativity

The Model Associativity Plug-in is designed for use when a solid has changed and you want to update the operations. This Plug-in allows you to associate a toolpath with a changed solid. A toolpath can be unpredictable. It is recommended that you keep a copy of the original file.

Action

This Plug-in offers a selection of three Action items to associate a toolpath with a changed solid.

Set To Selected Body:

Select one solid and update each selected op to now be associated with that new solid.

Replace First Solid With Second:

Select two solids and update each op that was associated with the first selected solid to now be associated with the second solid.

Replace Solid With Heir:

Any operations that were associated with a parent (grandparent etc.) or the selected solid will now be associated with the selected solid.

Selection

You can select to update Selected Operations or All Operations.

Redo Modified Ops

This item reprocesses the Modified Ops. If changes have been made to the part geometry a new toolpath will reflect the geometry changes.
