Parametrically , yes but finishes and other user defined specs remain same as defined. For example if a 5/8 endmill is used to bore a 1.5 dia hole and the engineers revise the diameter to 2.00 the feed and speeds remain modal but the tool paths for the 5/8 endmill change to reflect the new dimension by hitting "regenerate". But if the original hole was 2.00 and the diameter is changed to .500 you'll be prompted for a tool change- in this case a smaller tool. Call for a demonstration and flush your manufacturing yoke down the drain. For a whole year I was pestered by salesmen who fearfully put this software down with its learning curve crap. I am glad I stood on my grounds.

Interesting claims, Larry. So can Pro/MAN handle changes that would actually require a process change? Like enlarge a hole so that it's no longer drilled, but now it's milled? What happens if you change a surface finish spec in Pro/ENGINEER (if you can even encode a surface finish in Pro/E!)? Does it automatically update the process to deliver the spec'ed finish? I've seen a lot of CAM systems in my days, but none of them are smart enough yet to remove the user from the loop. | -----Original Message----- | From: Laurence Elie (IBF) [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] | Sent: Tuesday, November 26, 2002 10:15 AM | To: 'Pelly, Greg' | Cc: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' | Subject: RE: [mfg-smartcam] RE: MasterCAM or Esprit? | | | With Pro Manufacture any change made on the model | automatically changes your manufacturing part and | regenerates the respective program.
