How do I get the quick turn software to part off my piece at the end of the machining ?

Just draw a vertical line to the centre of the part when designing and make sure you have a parting tool active in your tool library. :D

I have the tool set up in my library and I have drawn the line but it doesnt show the parting off on the simulation in either quick turn 2d or the vr lathe software.

I have just checked the generate information and it quotes

(Part Off)
Cannot Process: Parting off is disabled for grooving tool

How do I fix this problem

Thanks

Go to the Options page

Machine tooling

Highlight the parting tool and click edit.

Make sure the check box is ticked for parting

I will check with Admin why this is not the default setting.
