Start Parts
(OP)
Is anyone using Start Parts? If so, could you explain the concept you use? I am hearing some people calling a "Template Part" a "Start Part" and others say a "Start Part" is part of a structure used in modeling parts with geometry linking.

RE: Start Parts
I don't know how other people do it but it can be approached in many different ways with many different things included.
When I begin a new CAM file from an existing model. I use a template file that brings into the new file all of my standard tools that reside in my carousel on my machine. I also have several defined tool paths that have been proven to work efficiently with speeds, feeds, DOC, they also are imported.
I am sure other people template many other things but nearly anything you want is availabe to be made and used as a template.

The way I did ours with GRIP was to use the File-Create UserExit and run a custom program that would tkae the UG defaults and add our company specific things like attributes to the new file.

"Fixed in the next release" should replace "Product First" as the PTC slogan.
