In CAM Assist, toolpath feeds and speeds come from either:

  1. Calculated values from the CloudNC Cutting Parameters engine or,

  2. Presets defined in the Cut Parameters of the selected TOOLDB file.

Presets will be applied if the Cutting parameters are set to either the first or second options on the Tool Use tab of CAM Assist:

Example

A preset is detected by CAM Assist if a Cut Parameter is defined in the tool database file. For example, this tool ‘22101’ has four presets defined in the Mastercam Tool Manager > Cut Parameters:

CAM Assist will present this tool in the Tool Use tab Table as follows:

In this case, if this tool is applied by CAM Assist for a toolpath, it will use the appropriate preset depending on the toolpath type. For instance if a Roughing toolpath were applied, the preset/Cut Parameter vales for Surface Speed and Feed Per Tooth would be applied.
