Machine input
The machine is the one originally selected for Choose Machine in CAM Assist (see below), it was used to generate the toolpath strategy.
The machine cannot be changed within Cutting Parameters but its properties can be changed (see Machine pop-up, below).
Machine properties
The properties of the chosen machine have one of two possible sources:
Original CAM Assist ‘Machine Properties’ - the properties that were used to generate the toolpath strategy shown in the Fusion Browser (see the screenshot to the right).
Properties changed in the Machine pop-up - see below.
On clicking the Machine tab, the Machine pop-up appears from the bottom of the main display area (see below).
Machine pop-up
The Machine pop-up contains the same machine properties that are available within CAM Assist The unit of measurement used in the pop-up can be changed via the ‘Session Settings’ cogwheel (see Cutting Parameters Layout).
How to change the machine’s properties
Within the Machine pop-up, take the following steps:
Change the property value using either/both of the following methods:
Enter a value directly into the textbox.
Use the up-down control to increase-decrease the value by 1.
Click on any of the input tabs (do not click Close)
The new property values are automatically saved.
The Machine pop-up closes.
The up-down button increments/decrements by integers, so if the button is used, it will remove any decimal accuracy for the value being changed.
