Click the Edit Parameters command to edit the operation parameters, but not regenerate the toolpath. The NC dialog box for that operation is displayed. The parameters that do not change the toolpath are active. You cannot edit the other parameters.

Click the OK button on the dialog box to save your changes.

When you click the Regenerate Toolpath and Reselect Geometry command, the NC dialog box for that operation is displayed. You can edit all the parameters on all the tabs.

When you click the OK button, SURFCAM prompts you to select the geometry . After you select the geometry, SURFCAM regenerates the toolpath.

Examples

This option uses the associativity properties of the SURFCAM data base. SURFCAM saves the geometry with the toolpath.

The saved geometry lets SURFCAM automatically regenerate the toolpath after you change the original toolpath parameters. There is no need to reselect the geometry if the geometry was not edited.

If you did edit the geometry, the geometry can help SURFCAM automatically regenerate the toolpath.

When you click the Regenerate Toolpath with Original Geometry command or button, one of three actions happen.

1. The dialog box for the selected operation is displayed. You can edit all the parameters on all the tabs. When you finish, click the OK button. If no changes were made in the geometry, the toolpath is automatically regenerated.

2. If you made changes in the geometry and SURFCAM can select the new geometry, you can edit the parameters. The Chain Preview menu appears. Then the toolpath is automatically regenerated.

3. If you made changes in the geometry and SURFCAM cannot select the new geometry, after you edit the parameters, SURFCAM prompts you to select the geometry. After you select the geometry, the toolpath is regenerated.
