Creating a toolpath template library

Toolpath Templates

Manufacture > Manage > Template Library 

If you spend enough time programming toolpaths, you will find a style that best suits the type of parts you need to machine. The toolpath Template Library allows you to save your favorite toolpaths and recall them for other machining projects. You have the ability to save a single operation, selected individual operations, or all the operations from a Setup. Templates can be organized into folders, making it easy to group them by type (milling/turning), style (2 axis, 3 axis, 5 axis) or machine (Haas, Makino, Hermle).

These videos will show you how to use the toolpath Template Library to streamline the process of machining a "Family" of parts.
