Adding user-defined cut codes

Follow these steps to add a new, user-defined cut code and assign it to a material type:

  1. Create a new material type and its stocks. For more information, see Adding machine and material data .

    If the material type already exists in aPriori (but with a CMC code instead of a user-defined cut code), delete it (see Deleting machine and material data) and create a new material type with a user-defined cut code.  When you create the material type, specify a cut code that is between 90.01 and 90.99 (inclusive).

  2. Use Excel to create rows of cutting data for the new cut code. The cutting data for milling (in the lookup table tblMilling), for example, includes a row for each unique combination of cut code, tool series, and tool diameter; and each such row includes data for cutting speed, number of tool teeth, feed per tooth, tool life, and tool cost, among others.

  3. Add the rows to the appropriate lookup table (for example, to tblMilling). See Editing Digital Factory data.
  4. If you subsequently add a new material type with the same associated cutting practices, you can assign it the same user-defined cut code. You do not need to re-enter the cutting data.
