6.6.1 Modify<br />

Functions of Interactive Optimizer can either be done directly in the dialog box or<br />

by graphic selection mode. Switching hits up a row, move selected hits to bottom,<br />

Reverse hit orders or when using graphic mode selecting the specific tool hit<br />

directly and changing hit order on the screen are many uses of the Interactive<br />

Optimizer.<br />

6.6.2 View Only<br />

View Only is similar to Modify but doesn’t have the capabilities to edit the tooling<br />

packages. View Only is used to view motions of the carriage between tooling hits<br />

(Head up), repositions (pad placement), and sorting. View Only is used in the same<br />

fashion as Modify to view tooling packages, but remember it is to just view motions<br />

throughout the operation. Below are definitions of terms:<br />

NO HIT MOTION: Head up, motion of carriage to location. X, Y<br />

coordinates designate where starting point is. NO HIT MOTION<br />

is generally used to display a move around a clamp.<br />

REPOSIT: States reposition at this point in code. Declares<br />

location of reposition pads.<br />

“SORTING”_REMOVAL: Defines how the part is removed from<br />

the plate.<br />

6.7 Interactive Zones<br />

An additional interactive option within NC Express is the Interactive Zones feature.<br />

Interactive Zones gives the <strong>user</strong> freedom to interactively create zones on a nested<br />

plate. There are many uses of Interactive Zones that can be taken full advantage of<br />

by the <strong>user</strong>. The following are some key points of Interactive Zones:<br />

Interactive creation of zones<br />

Interactive clamp placement<br />

Interactive reposition pad placement/locating<br />

Tooling filter to select only wanted tooling<br />

Bound tools to zone by part or by specific hits<br />
