I am trying to create a 2D profile for a turning program from a solid body. I can do a 2D cross section or a lathe cross section. The problem I am having is that on this particular solid, a normal cross section will not capture all of the turning geometry because of the complexity of the part...
Vericut is a very Versitile tool for program verification. I use Vericut to verify every toolpath I create before sending it to the machine. It is able to handle parameter input from the program but you have to do some up-front work first. I.E. creating the variables in the control file for the...
I am creating a turning program in UG V18. I have a part family with 5 different parts. I can create the different parts and tool paths by importing an expression table into the expression editor. What I want to do is, in the program make a gage cut and give the operator a specific diameter to...
What a great tip! I have always used the plot function instead of print for this reason. I tried it and it works great.

I am not sure if this will work with parts that have be linked with WAVE. You should be able to go to FILE->EXPORT->PART. There are several different options in this dialog box like "link to original" and "remove parameters" and others. You might have to experiment with those...
