est possible path. The next portion of this exercise will demonstrate how to
use teach cycles to create a cycle (pattern) of choice automatically.
Step 4: Zoom in on one of the holes with round tooling on it. (Doesn’t
matter which hole is selected.)
Step 5: Select only one round tool and it’s geometry simultaneous.
Step 6: Go to Tooling menu | select Teach cycles…
Step 7: Creating new cycle within Teach cycles:
Select Add… (Note- Add will not available if the geometry and/or
tooling was not selected at the same time)
Description- Hole1
Priority- 5 [normal] (used if more than one cycle is taught to switch
between cycles or set to (0) to disable cycle instead of deleting)
Rotation- Don’t rotate (used for indexable tooling)
Pattern- First X+, then Y+
Scaling- No scaling
Thickness- 0-20 (allows for use on selected thickness’)
Use environment tolerance
Click OK, then Save
Step 8: Once teach cycle has been taught the part will need to be Autotooled
again. Open Autotool dialog and enable ‘Use taught cycles’ to apply teach
cycles to a drawing. Run Autotool and then save the file as Drssn6.cp.
As seen in screenshot below the louver starts in the bottom left works X+ then back to left of
part and Y+, then X+.
Step 9: Change pattern of teach cycle to bi-directional.
