Job Name - Type in the name of a job, or click Browse and select a job from the Job Manager. In Job Manager you can create a new job if required (this will have its CAD File entry automatically set to that of the embedded solid file within the part file, if applicable).
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 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.
