Max Cutting Depth...
(OP)
How can I find out how deep any given tool is actually cutting, for shop documentaion purpouses?
I got the parameters from the tool specification but I also need to know and document the deepest point the tool will reach in each program...
Thanks Beforehand!

I have not done much with Shop docs
Most of my Tcl experience has been in Post Builder. Do you have access the BBS the Siemens conferencing site?

I guess I could make an IPW throught the Tool Path Verification and measure on it but that seems like a convoluted process...
As far as the BBS you mentioned I do not know about it. Can you give me directions/information to get on it?
Thank You John for your reply!

In NX
You can measure from the part to the tool when you have the tool path verification open and using the replay tab.
"As far as the BBS you mentioned I do not know about it. Can you give me directions/information to get on it?"
http://bbsnotes.ugs.com/ you will need a web key login which is free for customers that are up-to-date with maintance. There is probably a more up to date link from the Siemens site.

Yes, You are right, utimately I do want it in shop docs but untill I can get that straightened out I needed to at least get the information, even if I have to do it manually so to speak...
I know where to look now! I sure do appreciate it.

I did not know you could do that with the verify dialog open.
Very cool
