Machine tab content
The content of the Machine tab has several sources:
The machine name is the one originally selected for Choose Machine in CAM Assist (see below) that was used to generate the toolpath strategy shown in the Fusion Browser.
The machine’s name cannot be changed within Cutting Parameters but its properties can.
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 screenshot to the right).
The properties changed in the Machine pop-up - see below.
Machine pop-up
On clicking the Machine tab, the Machine pop-up appears in the display area.
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 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 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.
