Opelists Manager

Create

Creation of an opelist by inserting the operations one by one.

Create from GO2cam File

Creation of an opelist from a GO2cam file (PCE)

The purpose is to read the list of operations of an already machined part and to save this list as an opelist.

Modify

Modification of an existing opelist.

Analyze

For extensive Opelist directories, the Analyze function produces a categorized compilation of all your Opelists. You may organize the list by selecting column headers such as Directory (folder location), Machine, Material Grade, Typology, among others.

Tools Update

When a tool is modified in GO2cam, you can apply the modification in the opelist(s) that you select.

Total Tools Update

When a tool is modified in GO2cam, you can apply the modification in all the opelists.

Machine Grade Update

You can define a machine grade and apply it to one or several opelists selected in the explorer. No need to edit the opelist(s) to modify it (them).

Material Grade Update

You can define a material grade and apply it to one or several opelists selected in the explorer. No need to edit the opelist(s) to modify it (them).

Update Menus

After the creation or copy of opelists, you can update the menus of selections in GO2cam.

Machine and Material Grade Update

Automatically scan your existing machines and materials to dynamically generate and toggle entire grade categories within the selection dialogue.

The list of existing machine and material grades are accessible in the dialog with the plus icon.

1/ Creation by adding operations

Within the Opelists menu, select Create. This action opens a blank Opelist Manager tree labeled Operation.OPL, displayed with a beige background for distinction.

To define operations, right-click on Operation.OPL, navigate to Add. The available operations are categorized under the machining environment, analogous to the machining menu. In addition to machining cycles, Techno functions may also be defined within the opelist.

Select the desired cycle to include it in the opelist tree, repeating as necessary to add multiple cycles in the preferred sequence.

It is imperative that the profiles for the cycles are indexed with unique numbers. If multiple cycles share identical numbering, right-click on one of the cycles and choose ‘Reset the selections’ to resolve conflicts.

Upon completion, click on Validate to save the opelist. Assign an appropriate name as needed.

2/ Creation of an opelist from a .PCE file

Within the Opelists menu, select Create from GO2cam file.

You will be prompted to select a .PCE file. After selecting the file, click open. All machining cycles contained within the .PCE file will be extracted and loaded into the opelist tree without requiring the file to be opened in GO2cam.

You may click Validate to save the opelist immediately or perform modifications prior to saving if necessary.

The command that enables to import a PCE file to transfer the machining operations into opelists has a new behaviour:

• either you apply a single opelist from the operations programmed in the PCE file,

• or the new function creates several opelists executed one after another. We consider the folders, the grouped cycles and the opelists applied in the PCE file.

Main Options:

Several options are available upon right-clicking the line 'Operation.OPL' (Opelist name):

• Merge this list with an existing one

• Add a comment that will be visible in the Browser.

• Specify technical parameters to be pre-filled each time the opelist is opened.

• Compose internal documentation intended for the operator utilizing the opelist. This documentation automatically opens upon opelist application to provide guidance and recommendations.

Confirm and assign a name to your Opelist.

The assigned name will be displayed in the machining tree.

For large Opelist directories, the Analyze function lets you generate a categorized list of all your Opelists. Easily sort the list by clicking on column headers like Directory (folder location), Machine, Material Grade, Typology, and more.

• Quick Insights: Hover over any operation to see a pop-up with all the cycle sets in the Opelist.

• Detailed Previews: Hover over an operation’s image to view additional details.

• Export Options: Save your operation list as an Excel file by clicking the Save button on the right side of the dialog.

• Edit with Ease: Double-click any Opelist to enter edit mode directly.

You can create a favorites list for your opelists. To create a favorite, simply click on the star, which will turn blue and a new Favorites tab will then be created in the menu, displaying a list of your opelists.
