Can you set a default value for the fixture offset field when inserting new MCS geometry? In nearly every case, they use a single fixture offset of G54 and it would be convenient to have this preset.
Solution
Yes. This is a normal dialog default just like any other manufacturing parameter in the template.
- Edit the mill_planar.prt template part file (or whatever template part files are being used to retrieve geometry objects).
- Switch to the Geometry view of the operation navigator.
- Edit the MCS objects there so the fixture offset field contains the desired number.
- Save the file.
- Restart NX to re-read the configuration and templates.
