Editing the Lathe Setup

The last step of Preparing the Model for Manufacture is to create a sub-spindle machining lathe setup.

You can subsequently edit this setup (note that you can only do this for parts created in EdgeCAM Version 9 or later):

Click the M-Functions menu and click Lathe Setup. Then complete the Lathe Setup Dialog that opens.

If you regenerate the sequence after the edits, then all adjustments are made automatically and the results are as if you had used the new setup originally. So if you change Machine to Sub Spindle Datum (Z) for example, the sub-spindle component geometry and any related features, boundary entities and so on are moved to the new position.
