at different depths efficiently without have to resort to loading up the Machining Operations Manager with multiple operations for the same tool, forcing the user to create unnecessary geometry or *after* the Drilling Operation is created forcing the user to edit the drill points with the worlds worst interface… “Change At Point”.
You can only edit one point at a time with “Change At Point” and it must be done *after* the Drilling Operation is created. When you use “Change At Point” you changes don’t appear directly in the Machining Operation Manager. Instead, CNC Software expects you to open the Chain Manager from the Machining Operations Manager and then edit your drill points *one at a time* which is a massive waste of time! As a result of this lousy and inefficient interface it’s difficult if not impossible to manage your drill points.
Many Mastercam users refuse to use “Change At Point” because of its lousy and inefficient interface.
After all these years isn’t it time for CNC Software to allow Mastercam to easily be able to handle drilling holes with just one efficient operation that uses the same tool at different Z-depth?
