Job assignmentJob assignment
We used the Fill parameters option so all parameters from the previous 2.5D pocketing operation (including the Job assignment) were copied to the new operation. Therefore, there is no need to specify them because the machined elements are the same.

We used the Fill parameters option and all technology parameters from previous 2.5D pocketing operation were passed into new operation. We only need to change the tool and set the radial stock to “0”
