Configuring behavior of CAM solver

Top | Previous | Next

Configuration command for the behavior of the CAM solver is opened from the part editing environment of Autodesk Inventor and moving on to the Woodwork CAM module:

Opening the Command

Woodwork CAM -> CAM Behave

CAM Behave Dialog Start

	CAM database path	Specifies a path to the database of CNC machines.
1	Machine selector	Allows selecting a machine for which behaviour parameters of CAM Solver are set. Please note! The most common mistake is when users configure behaviour for one machine and hope that it will be taken into account when generating a CNC technology for another machine.
	Create JOB on entering CAM environment	When opened, CAM environment activates automatic creation of a JOB. The job will be automatically created only if the CNC technology is empty at the time of opening the CAM environment. The machine used in the automatic creation of the job (as one of the properties of the material) is specified in the Material Editor. To read more, click here.
2	Editing space for CAM behaviour parameters	This space is used to edit CAM behaviour parameters. The content of this space changes depending on the selections made in side tabs.
	Application Settings	This tab is used to edit and save the general CAM behaviour settings.
	Document settings	This tab is used to edit and save CAM behaviour settings for the current component. The component can be both an assembly and an individual part. If such settings are defined for the component, the tab is marked with additional sign. . The settings can be deleted by clicking on the sign and the component or its sub-components will be processed in accordance with the general settings. Part settings will always have priority over assembly settings, while assembly settings will have priority over the general settings.
	General Settings	A tab containing general settings for automatic generation of CNC technologies. For more information, click here.
	Part Clamping Settings	A tab containing settings for the clamping of the part in the CNC machine. For more information, click here.
