"R" Symbol
In the Process Manager, a procedure marked with the symbol means that the remaining stock was modified after the procedure has already been calculated. This stock change may or may not affect the calculated motions, hence the
symbol is displayed together with the
flag (recommendation to check and re-execute the procedure) and appears thus:
.
If, after checking the procedure, you decide that the motions are unaffected by the stock change, you can manually clear the symbol. The
symbol can be cleared from single or multiple procedures in the Process Manager. InvokeInvoke the option to manually remove the symbol.
If the "R" symbol is manually cleared, this information is displayed in the NC Execution Log.
"D" Symbol
In the Process Manager, a procedure marked with the D symbol means that a previous AutoDrill or Drill procedure has changed and that the current procedure may need to be recalculated.
If, after checking the procedure, you decide that the motions are unaffected by the change, you can manually clear the D symbol. The D symbol can be cleared from single or multiple procedures in the Process Manager. InvokeInvoke the option to manually remove the symbol.
Usage Example
In the examples below, the clearing of the "R" symbol is demonstrated, however, the same process applies to the "D" symbol.
Two separate rough procedures have been calculated in the orange and green areas. |
The user changed the downstep of the operation in the orange area. Because this change affected the remaining stock, an R symbol has popped up near the green area procedure. Since the green area procedure has clearly not been affected, the user can now remove the R symbol. The manual removal of the R symbol is recorded in the procedure’s log file. |
