Editing Machining Operations

You can edit manufacturing operations in the Costing template or in the CostingManager.

For all operations, you can apply a cost override.

If you edit the Costing template, all parts that are evaluated using this template are affected. If you edit the CostingManager, only the current part is affected.

To edit a machining operation in the CostingManager:

Expand an item in the CostingManager.

Right-click and click any of the following. For example:

CostingManager Item	Menu Item	Description
Setup folder	Select Setup Cost	Adds an existing setup cost to the Setup folder.
	Add Setup Cost	Creates a new setup cost in the Setup folder called Setup `n` .
	Add Setup Operation	Creates a new setup operation in the Setup folder called Setup Operation `n` .
Items in the Setup folder	Move To	Moves a machining operation from one setup to another setup.
	New Setup Operation	Creates a new setup for the selected manufacturing operation.
Items in the Cut Path folder	Cutting machines defined in the template	Sets a different cutting tool.
Items in the Mill Operations folder	Move To	Moves a milling operation from one setup to another setup.
	Add Operation	Sets operations such as semi finishing or finishing.
	Milling machines defined in the template	Sets a different cutting tool size.
Items in the Hole Operations folder	Add Operation	Adds an operation and sets a tool to use for that operation because the hole may require more operations than originally defined in the template. For example, instead of just drilling a hole, you can drill and ream a hole.
	Move To	Moves a hole operation from one setup to another setup.
	Cutting tools defined in the template	Sets a different cutting tool and size.
	Hole machines defined in the template	Sets a different cutting tool size.
Custom Operations folder	Create Custom Operation	Creates a new custom operation.
Items in the Custom Operations folder	Edit Custom Operation	Edits a custom operation.
	Remove Custom Operation	Removes the item from the Custom Operations folder.
Items in the Library Features folder	Library features defined in the template	Sets a different library feature as a substitute for the one that was automatically selected.
