The ‘Operation’ input tab contains a toolpath-like structure, which it gets from one of two sources:
Original operation toolpath from Mastercam - a representation of the operation toolpath that you selected to open the Cutting Parameters Explorer (see the screenshot to the right).
Operation pop-up - the operation you selected within the Operation pop-up (see below).
Operation pop-up
On clicking the ‘Operation’ input tab, a pop-up covers the Display Area (see below).
The pop-up contains a representation of the operation that was used to open the Cutting Parameters Explorer. In the Operation pop-up, you can change that operation.
How to change the selected operation
Within the Operation pop-up, take the following steps:
Click on one of the operations in the pop-up.
The content of the Operation tab changes immediately to the selected operation.
Click on the
button in the top-right of the pop-up.The selected operation is automatically saved.
The Operation pop-up closes.
Some of the operations listed in the operation pop-up are greyed out (and cannot be selected) because the operation:
Is not yet supported by the Cutting Parameters Explorer - a list, at the top of the Operation pop-up, displays the operations that are supported.
Is not suitable for the selected tool.
