This example shows how to change the Plunging Feed Rate across multiple toolpaths. It uses the Set Named Parameter option on the selected Toolpaths context menu to apply a new value of a specified parameter to the selected toolpaths.
Note: Changing the parameter using the
Set Named Parameter option invalidates all entities using the parameter so you must recalculate them.
- Click Home tab > Toolpath Setup panel > Feeds & Speeds to display the Feed and Speeds dialog.
- In the Cutting Conditions area of the Feeds and Speeds dialog, enter a Plunging Feed Rate value of 750 mm/min. Click Accept.
- Select the toolpaths where you want to change the
Plunging Feed Rate.
- From the selected Toolpaths context menu, select Edit > Set Named Parameter. The Enter Parameter Name dialog is displayed.
- Enter
FeedRate.Plunging.Value
in the
Enter Parameter Name dialog and click
.
- In the PowerMill Query dialog, click Yes to confirm the parameter value change.
To see the effects of your changes, select one of the toolpaths, and expand the Feed and Speeds entity in the Explorer window.
