CAM-Recently I upgraded my ZW3D from 2017 to the latest 2020 version...

Question:

Recently I upgraded my ZW3D from 2017 to the latest 2020 version, and I found that the parameters in Tool Manager are a little bit different from the previous version. Speeds and Feeds are not shown together with Rough and Finish. So how can I migrate my previous tool library to 2020?

Solution:

In ZW3D 2020, to simplify the interface and workflow, there are only Speeds and Feeds, not for Rough and Finish respectively. However, some of you may have the above question on how to migrate the tool library.

It is very easy:

1)      Create a new ZW3D 2020 CAM Plan, name it as ZW3D2020 Tool Library, and save it.

2)      Load the previous tool library and import the S, F parameters into the new ZW3D2020 Tool Library, then save it.

3)      Then you can use the new tool library in ZW3D 2020.
