Is there a way to set the desired machining method parent for feature-based operations created through the Machining Knowledge Editor rules?
Solution
Yes. You can use the parameter:
oper.METHOD_GROUP
Use this parameter in the MKE rule to tell the software what method will be the parent for the newly created operation.
Note: The Create Feature Process does not create a new Method object in the setup. The 'oper.METHOD_GROUP' parameter in the rule only puts the operations under the defined method if that method already exists in the setup.
Thus, there is a requirement that the 'MouseButton3-->Object-->Template Settings' of the method be altered in the template part file. Make sure the following options are both checked ON:
- Object can be used as a template
- Create if parent is created
With these options both on, this method will be created in a new setup automatically when this template is chosen to initialize the new setup.
