This is probably an easy answer and dumb question. I have two separate models that share same subassembly, "Carcass Tall FF". Can I just re-name one from the edit design data subassemblies tab and then save sub to library? Or if there is another way canExclude Scrap from Yield Calculation
We currently have scrap management turned on to square off the waste, leaving it up to the CNC operator to decide whether to keep it or not.
