Work with Automatic In-Process Stock (IPS)

Automatic IPS lets you visualize the success of each toolpath by seeing the simulated stock result.

Enabling automatic in-process stock generation

On the Manufacture workspace toolbar, click Utilities > Actions > Automatic In-Process Stock Generation Auto In Process Stock On icon to turn on Automatic IPS.

Note: If Automatic IPS fails to generate, click the tool again to turn it off, then click it once more to turn it back on. This restarts the generation process without needing to recalculate toolpaths.

Visibility of in-process stock

At the bottom-center of the canvas, on the Navigation bar, click the stock visibility icon In process stock visibility icon then:

In process stock visibility on

Using in-process stock for simulation

In the Simulate dialog, enable the Stock group, then from the Mode drop-down list, select Standard to use Automatic IPS during simulation.

Learn more about how to manage Automatic IPS in the video below.

The Automatic IPS command is now located in the Utilities tab, on the Actions panel.
