Preparing Geometry for Main and Subspindle Tool Path in OneCNC Lathe Expert - CAD Training

In this training video, we will prepare our geometry for applying tool paths using OneCNC Lathe Expert. We'll create and manage geometry for both main spindle and subspindle operations, ensuring precise and efficient machining.

Key Topics Covered:

Renaming Layers for Better Organization:
Renaming the geometry layer to "Main Spindle" for better clarity.
Good housekeeping practices for layer management.
Creating a Copy of Geometry for Subspindle Work:
Selecting and copying the original geometry.
Rotating the geometry by 180 degrees around the Y-axis.
Assigning Geometry to Layers:
Creating and assigning geometry to a "Subspindle" layer.
Managing visibility of different layers for better workflow.
Positioning the Geometry for Subspindle Operations:
Moving the part to align the x0, y0, z0 at the desired location.
Using incremental move commands for precise adjustments.
Extracting Wireframe Geometry for Holes and Profiles:
Using extract edge and extract lathe profile commands.
Creating wireframe geometry for holes and cross-sections.
Cleaning Up and Managing Geometry:
Trimming unnecessary geometry to keep a clean workspace.
Deleting excess geometry and organizing wireframe elements.
Preparing Main Spindle Geometry:
Repeating the process for main spindle geometry.
Ensuring only necessary geometry is visible for tool path application.
