Multiple Stocks Machining dialog - cylinder stock (PartMaker)

If you have selected Cylinder stock, the following settings are available on the Multiple Stocks Machining dialog:

Note: These settings are available only if you have selected a Standard or Tombstone table.

Face Designation in Multiple Stocks Machining — Use these settings to specify whether the machining operations programmed in the current Face window are machined on the same stock as operations in other Face windows, or on different stock. This ensures that the correct stock is used during simulation.

• Independent, Add New Stock — Select this option if the toolpaths created in the current Face window are machined on a separate stock to other Face windows. Independent stocks are shown separately on the Standard machining table in PartMaker's 3D simulation.

  When you select this option, PartMaker creates a Face that is parallel to the tombstone or table face.

  Each Face window using an Independent Stock should have a different Work Offset value set in the Setup dialog.

• Dependent, Use Stock Defined for Face — Select this option if the toolpaths created in the current Face window use an existing stock that is already in use by another Face window during simulation, then select the designated Face window from the drop-down list box.
