When the direction of a machining operation is different from other operations (such as drilling a hole on a different face), the Costing tool cost calculation is based on the requirement that the part to be repositioned, which incurs a separate setup operation. However, if you manufacture the part in a multi-axis machine and the machine rotates the part to run the operation, a new setup is not necessary. Therefore, you can move the separate setup cost into a previous setup operation.
- In the CostingManager, expand the Setup
folder.
- Under Operation Setup or Custom Setup , right-click a setup cost
and click Move To.
-
Click a setup operation.
The setup cost moves to the operation you select.
Alternatively, you can drag and drop individual setup costs
to different setup operations
in the
Operation Setup or
Custom Setup folder.
