Terrific Bill, you have summarised this concept using an approach I have being pursuing for a long time. It will help me a lot to get closer of our prospect. Thank you very much.
Will change in one program ( feed , speed or anything else ) update the same feed , speed in part family programs ? Would not be easier to keep one program and just change parameters in design to reflect other similar parts ? TS will regenerate machining operation anyway to reflect new part design.
Hi. Yes you could choose to run TopSolid that way as well. Just modify the design, rebuild the machining file. This works well so long as you don't need to document each individual part, machining setup and so on. If you so, working off of a family might be more beneficial because you can automate the back end of documentation as well to help keep things moving along quickly. Again, the beauty of TopSolid is you can achieve what you need to achieve in many different ways. This example was made to answer to a specific strategy of manufacturing family of parts.
