Summary


Details

A Turning In Process Workpiece (IPW) shows stock on a face that has already been finished.  What can be done to update this IPW so that subsequent tool paths will show the correct cut region thereby not re-cutting a finished face?

Solution

Select all the Turning operations in the program group and do an 'MB3 -> Tool Path -> Delete' to delete the internal paths.  Select the operations again and do an 'MB3 -> Generate'.  Deleting the internal tool paths and then regenerating them will cause NX to re-calculate the tool paths and can, under some circumstances, refresh the IPW.  Please note that deleting the Tool Path does not delete the Operation.
