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

 

 

CAM Behave Dialog Start

 

 

 

 

CAM database path

Specifies a path to the database of CNC machines.

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.

Check box

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.

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. Behavior Document setings remove 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.
