What if the operation created the plane for you?

I remember this from my NX days 12 or so years ago. You just never thought much of planes when programming.

We have plenty of horizontals! You live way too far away to commute with public technology at the level it currently is. Maybe in 10 years we can hop in our worm mobile and tale wormholes to other countries so we can sleep there?

As long as I have ultimate control I'm neutral on it.

I REALLY like being able to create a plane while I'm in an operation. That follows most CAM system work flows these days.

So... there's been a truckload of complaints about 2027 (as with ALL new versions). Well, I have a "Job well done".
Those of us in the 5-Axis world from time to time have issues with plane management. We forget to assign the correct Base WCS, or we want to change from one kinematic to another (A/C to B/C, etc...). Best I can recall, the previous versions forced us to go into each operation and change the WCS. For a part with a few operations it's not a big deal, but a part with dozens or hundreds of operations this is a nightmare. A certified, time consuming, tedious,. mind numbing nightmare. No More.

They made the Edit Common Parameters, Planes, work as it should.



I like this.

I tie my planes in to a dot and arrange them with viewsheets.

The "previous view" icon still throws me to a system plane and WCS if my previous plane matched the view of a custom plane regardless of the origin or offset number. They should just start with no planes and make us create our own. That was humor.

Plane changing OK for me. LOVE the deburring. Anything else I found I already have a work-around for as normal.

Whenever I work on a pre 2027 file I STILL have the "ghost active" problem in levels. You select a GVIEW (I have CP and TP set to follow GV) I'll look up and the previous CP and TP will still be highlighted along with the one I just chose. Makes me re think life.

The machine def and control def I'm having to get used to but I understand what they did and somewhat why.
