Profile Stock or Fixture

www.kxcad.net Home > CAM Index > EdgeCAM Index >



To Create a Profile Stock or Fixture

  1. Select the Stock/Fixture (Geometry menu) command. The dialog for the command now appears.

  2. Select the Type of object to be Stock or Fixture.

  3. Select the Shape of the stock to be a Profile.

  4. Enter the Depth of the profile. This is the height of the top of the profile above the level of the profile. If no depth value is specified you will be prompted to digitise a point to define the depth of the profile before being able to select the points on the profile.

  5. Click OK.

  6. You are now prompted to digitise a closed 2D profile.  The initial level of the profile is taken from the first digitise. The height of the top of the profile is the level plus the specified Depth.  

Please note that edges and faces should not cross over or exactly meet as the Simulator converts the profile into a solid and this will cause an illegal operation.

Please note that profile stock can only be created in CPL Top otherwise it is displayed incorrectly in EdgeCAM Verify.
