How to change tool starting position for simulation
Posted: Tue Sep 19, 2017 9:21 am
Hi there,
I'm busy working through the TopSolid 2D Mill Tutorial. One aspect which is different on my TopSolid is that my Tool has a starting position which is very far away. I thought perhaps it would be a matter of clicking on the "programming simulation mode where only the tool is represented" but for me that button is greyed out / un-clickable (see second picture below).
Question 1: Is this set by default due to the machine I selected and perhaps representative of where the tooling magazine on the machine is?
Question 2: For simulation purposes, is it possible to modify the starting position on this tool?
. Thanks again,
Michelle
