Modifying the Operation-level Routings

This section shows you how to add operation-level routings that are analogous to those of Laser Cut, as well as a routing for the edge operation AbrasiveJet Cutting.

Modify the AbrasiveJet Cut Blank, ComplexHole, and SimpleHole templates as follows:

1 Find the line that starts with the following:

'Sheet Metal' ::=

2 In that line, click immediately before the following line:

'Turret Press':'Turret Press':'Sheet Metal'

3 Enter the operation node name followed by a vertical bar, |:

'AbrasiveJet Cutting':'AbrasiveJet Cut':'Sheet Metal' |

You can copy the node name from the Template Node Name field of the Node Attributes tab for the blank and complex hole AbrasiveJet Cutting operations.

This causes the blank, complex hole, or simple hole AbrasiveJet Cutting operation to be assigned to a part’s blank, complex hole, or simple hole if the process AbrasiveJet Cut has been assigned to the part.

Modify the AbrasiveJet Cut Edge template as follows:

1 Add the following line:

'Sheet Metal' ::= 'AbrasiveJet Cut' [Machining] ['Part Assembly']

2 Below that, add the following, all on one line:

'Abrasivet Cut' ::=

'AbrasiveJet Cut:AbrasiveJet Cutting//Blank:AbrasiveJet Cutting//Edge' |

'Abrasiveet Cut:AbrasiveJet Cutting//

ComplexHole:AbrasiveJet Cutting//Edge'

You can copy these node names from the Fully-Qualified Name field of the Node Attributes tab for the edge AbrasiveJet Cutting operations.

This causes the edge operation AbrasiveJet Cutting to be assigned to a part’s edge if the blank, complex hole, or simple hole operation AbrasiveJet Cutting has been assigned to the edge’s parent GCD (blank, complex hole, or simple hole).
