Flat MPR tooling rules

 

How to work with simplified MPR based parts

 

To use this option the following system parameters must be checked:

 

Nested pattern and part drawing view must be set to standard view (on the Nesting tab).

Source MPR files - flat (non-parametric)

The first column is used to specify an instruction type. The next two columns can be used to either specify a diameter / width or tooling specified in the MPR file.

 

The final column is what the tooling will be inside the software.

 

e.g. So in the example screen shot above:

 

Vertical drilling in the MPR files with a diameter of 6.0mm will end up with a tooling of T=66

Vertical drilling in the MPR files with a diameter of 8.0mm will end up with a tooling of T=68

Vertical drilling in the MPR files with a diameter of 15mm will end up with a tooling of T=615

Horizontal drilling in the MPR files with a diameter of 8.0mm will end up with a tooling of T=88

Contours in the MPR files that have the MPR tool number set to 105 will end up with a tooling of T=128 in the software.
