U

Universal Type

—the type of machine when using Universal Rotary configuration, for graphics rendering.

Update Data Blocks With Tool Changes

—Update feeds and speeds in conversational data blocks when tool feeds and speeds are changed. Specify if update this should occur automatically, prompt first, or should not update. Tool Utilities and Settings.

UPS Software Shutdown Off Time

sets the number of minutes the system will wait before it shuts down after a power loss condition has been detected. See Machine Parameters – General 1 in Getting Started with WinMax Mill for more information.

Use Chord Error From Program

—specify Yes or No to use the chord error value programmed in general parameters when rendering curves in NC in graphics display.

Use Cusp Height

—when YES, step over is calculated from the specified cusp height. Used only with flat and ball end mills in a Swept Surface block.

Use Program Name

—when YES, indicates that the desired STL file for use in Stock Geometry is in the same file directory and has the same name as the loaded program. This field is displayed when STL FILE is selected for the STOCK TYPE field in the Stock Geometry screen.

Use Offset Z 

—in Zero Calibration mode only, available when Transform Part Zero is Yes. Determines if the value in the Offset Z field on the Part Setup screen will be used by the machine in a transformed plane. The default value is No. Refer to Rotary Part Programming in Rotary Programming for information about the Offset Z field.

  • When set to Yes, the value in the Offset Z field on the Part Setup screen will be used to establish the part zero coordinate system in Transform Plane operations.

  • When set to No, the value in the Offset Z field on the Part Setup screen will be added or subtracted from the Z calibration point during Transform Plane operations.

Use Tool Type Checking

—Yes only allows the selection of tool types that are valid for the operation in conversational mode:

  • YES—only the tools that are valid for the data block can be selected (i.e., drills and taps displayed for hole operations).

  • NO—allows any tool to be selected for any data block.
