Machining Sequence dialog - Job Data tab

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

When a job record is selected for a machining sequence the specified modifiers will be loaded into EdgeCAM and the values displayed in the appropriate field.

This information along with Material, Machine and Description will be passed through to the Code Generator, bringing the Job Manager, EdgeCAM machining sequences and the NC file closer together.

(You can also set these modifiers on the New Machining Sequence or Machine Parameters dialog. The relevant fields in the Job Manager will be updated when an NC file is generated.)

Job Name - Type in or browse for the name of a job in the Job Manager. You can type in a new name for a job to be created under (this will have its CAD File entry automatically set to that of the embedded solid file within the part file, if applicable).

You can also set these modifiers on this dialog. The relevant fields in the Job Manager will be updated when an NC file is generated.

Comment - Add any relevant notes.

Family - All jobs defined in the database can be grouped into families which form the tabs on the job panel of the ToolKit Assistant dialog.

Customer - Enter the customer name for the job.

Programmer - Enter the name of the programmer.

Job Revision - Enter the current revision identifier for change control purposes. Please note that the text string must not exceed 39 characters.

Note that the job record will contain only a text field holding the current revision. If you wish to keep a complete change history or other audit trail information this can be done by making appropriate entries on the Notes page.
