I have been using woodwop demo and I have a question, when drilling line bore holes I can get the first set in with no problem, the second set where Y is concerend if I wanted them placed 32 mm off the top of the panel ? whats the formula ?

the busellato use to do it in parametrics with h-32 is there a place I could find some of the different cordinates ? I have tried serveral different one's but so far the only way I have been able to place them is by using 568mm on a 600 mm panel.

thinking of getting another cnc and wanted to get a head start on the software.

If you are trying to do two parallel lines of line holes on the x axis and lets say the first line’s y positioning is 10 mm from the x edge, then you can establish a “b=32+10” variable and enter y=b to have the second line holes positioned +32 mm from the first one….

If “off the top of the panel” meant outside the panel did you try defining your y as y = - 32 (negative 32)?
Of course that implies that your drills can go on a negative territory.

Hope that was your question.

I guess I should be more clear, 2 sets of parallel line bore holes 32 mm in from both sides of the panel. in y

the first one is x = 32 y=32 number 18 matrix 32 simple , second set would be x= 32 y is where I'm having trouble. in my mind it should be the width of y -32 ??

cabinetmaker lbx-32 ?? is that a variable ?? I'm new

LPX length in the panel So LPX -32 is the length -32mm. So if your panel varies it will always hit the panel at itts length minus 32 mm

It's _BSX, _BSY and _BSZ not LPX
_BSX, Y and Z are the stock sizes.

Well at least on our machine and version of WoodWOP.

Press Shift+Space Bar to see the available variable names. (See attached)

Hope that helps!

Can you post an example file?

Attached is an example of a parametric perf'd panel with various borders. Not sure if this what you are looking for ... but it might help.

Just download and change the name from .PDF to .MPR (WoodWeb will not allow MPR files)

Click the link below to download the file included with this post.

Ray if you're not used to the variable set up just use this: panel width-32 by that I mean if you have the panel size in the process part area your Y formula would be panel width minus 32. If you're using the variables you can add in: I=25.4 (this is a metric to inch converter after using this you can enter all your sizes in inches and add(*I) after them, WOODWOP thinks in metric) L=panel length *I, W= panel width*I and T=panel thickness then add the L,W&T in the process part area. From there the formula for the second set of holes is W-32
If you're looking at a WEEKE I highly recommend the training they do a good job and you learn a lot Chris

If you only have the demo version I assume you don't have the complete help files then. The help files aren't too bad ... and I refer to them from time to time. It would be too much to zip and post here though ... not to mention not sure if we are suppose to sure them too.

here is a picture of what I'm trying to do, the first set of holes at the bottom are fine the second set were done like Chris suggested as you can see no holes appear, very strange

Ray,
If you want the holes the same off of the back as they are on the front copy the row of holes that you put in the front and change the coordinate location to 3. This will give you the same reference but off of the back corner. This is at the bottom of screen where you have the little arrows. One goes up and one goes to the right and you have 00 next to it. This is where you tell the macro which corner of the panel you are referencing off of. This is one of the slick features of woodwop.

I understand now...Change the W in the Y start to B (from your variable list) and that should do it. A picture is worth a thousand words...rough translation is L=length B=width D=thickness, so you are trying to tell it, move from 0,0 the width(B) then come back 32mm. What I was giving you wont work (see the red lightning bolt) because you are telling it to look up the meaning of W instead of B in the variables list and the program cant find it. Everything else looks fine Chris

  • Messages that accuse businesses or individuals of alleged negative actions or behavior are inappropriate since WOODWEB is unable to verify or substantiate the claims.
  • Posts with the intent of soliciting answers to surveys are not appropriate. Contact WOODWEB for more information on initiating a survey.
  • Excessive forum participation by an individual upsets the balance of a healthy forum atmosphere. Individuals who excessively post responses containing marginal content will be considered repeat forum abusers.
  • Responses that initiate or support inappropriate and off-topic discussion of general politics detract from the professional woodworking focus of WOODWEB, and will be removed.
  • Participants are encouraged to use their real name when posting. Intentionally using another persons name is prohibited, and posts of this nature will be removed at WOODWEB's discretion.

    WOODWEB's forums are a highly regarded resource for professional woodworkers. Messages and responses that are crafted in a professional and civil manner strengthen this resource. Messages that do not reflect a professional tone reduce the value of our forums.

    Messages are inappropriate when their content: is deemed libelous in nature or is based on rumor, fails to meet basic standards of decorum, contains blatant advertising or inappropriate emphasis on self promotion (return to top).

    Libel:   Posts which defame an individual or organization, or employ a tone which can be viewed as malicious in nature. Words, pictures, or cartoons which expose a person or organization to public hatred, shame, disgrace, or ridicule, or induce an ill opinion of a person or organization, are libelous.

    Improper Decorum:   Posts which are profane, inciting, disrespectful or uncivil in tone, or maliciously worded. This also includes the venting of unsubstantiated opinions. Such messages do little to illuminate a given topic, and often have the opposite effect. Constructive criticism is acceptable (return to top).

    Advertising:   The purpose of WOODWEB Forums is to provide answers, not an advertising venue. Companies participating in a Forum discussion should provide specific answers to posted questions. WOODWEB suggests that businesses include an appropriately crafted signature in order to identify their company. A well meaning post that seems to be on-topic but contains a product reference may do your business more harm than good in the Forum environment. Forum users may perceive your references to specific products as unsolicited advertising (spam) and consciously avoid your web site or services. A well-crafted signature is an appropriate way to advertise your services that will not offend potential customers. Signatures should be limited to 4-6 lines, and may contain information that identifies the type of business you're in, your URL and email address (return to top).

    Repeated Forum Abuse: Forum participants who repeatedly fail to follow WOODWEB's Forum Guidelines may encounter difficulty when attempting to post messages.

    There are often situations when the original message asks for opinions: "What is the best widget for my type of shop?". To a certain extent, the person posting the message is responsible for including specific questions within the message. An open ended question (like the one above) invites responses that may read as sales pitches. WOODWEB suggests that companies responding to such a question provide detailed and substantive replies rather than responses that read as a one-sided product promotion. It has been WOODWEB's experience that substantive responses are held in higher regard by our readers (return to top).

    The staff of WOODWEB assume no responsibility for the accuracy, content, or outcome of any posting transmitted at WOODWEB's Message Boards. Participants should undertake the use of machinery, materials and methods discussed at WOODWEB's Message Boards after considerate evaluation, and at their own risk.
