Geometry
The ‘Geometry’ section of the Advanced Tab enables you to redefine the geometry to include aspects of the original model that you wish to include or omit from CAM Assist’s machining strategy.
For examples and guidance on each of the Geometry features, see Using the ‘Geometry’ section.
Features
The following table describes each option in the ‘Geometry’ section, as shown in the above screenshot.
Option | Description |
---|---|
Action on model with errors | If you hover the mouse over the value for this option, a drop-down box is revealed. The revealed drop-down box contains a list of distinct actions that CAM Assist takes when it cannot correctly parse the model. Errors can occur due to a fault in the model, or due to an incompatibility between the underlying CAD systems used by Fusion and CAM Assist. In most cases, CAM Assist can continue to compute toolpaths for most or all of the part. Available options:
The better option between ‘Proceed with errors’ and ‘Attempt to fix errors’ depends on the specific part and error. In many cases, the best approach is to first try ‘Proceed with errors’ and, if that output is not correct, try ‘Attempt to fix errors’. |
