Finding Plates by Tool or Process

New in 4.132.652.

 

The Plate selector has a filter for tool type:

tooltype filter

 

From the dropdown list you can filter plates containing processing by tools of the various generic tool types:  Beveling, Cutting, Drilling (includes tapping and other point spindle operations), Marking, Milling and Pause process types.

 

This dropdown however also allows you to enter free text; and if you do so then PrimeCut will filter by tool name or process name matching the text you have typed, which can include wildcards.  Examples:

 

tap*                All plates with tapping processes named TAP M10, TAP M12, TAP 1./2"-8 UNC etc

400A*        All plates using 400A consumables

KSEM*        All plates containing KSEM family drills

KSEM38.1        All plates containing the specific KSEM38.1 tool

*Flame*        All plates with Flame (assumes all your flame tools have flame in their name)

 

In conjunction with the Controller filter, this provides a powerful tool for locating particular types of nest.
