      </table><br><p class="para_topic">When machining with multiple spindles or turn-around parts on the same spindle, you can select the final outcome of a previous operation as blank for the next group of operations. Each spindle should be represented as an MCS spindle group in the geometry view. In each of these spindle groups, you should define a workpiece geometry group where part and blank are defined. With this option, the actual blank boundary will only need to be defined for the first spindle, as this function propagates the blank to all subsequent spindles. This results in cascading associativity throughout the machining process. </p>
