Tool Path Data Input
Selecting a tool path type opens a data input dialogue. The dialogue
will have tab sections for additional parameters for that tool path.
Tool path data input dialogues have a Basic tab, and a Comment tab
(except Drilling).
Basic Tab
The basic required data input per tool path is located on the Basic tab.
Required fields may have default entries (0.000000) in the top “box”
area which can be modified.
Setup Tab
Allows additional data input and/or additional required data input for
that feature.
Comment Tab
Any comments for the tool path being created are entered on this tab,
and is included with the part program output to provide additional
information for the operator.
A Setup, or Advanced tab is included with some tool paths that allow
for additional data input.
The data input dialogue contains two buttons - Cancel, and Use.
Cancel
Select to cancel the new tool path.
Use
Select to use the tool path with the entered data. If a tool path
command requires a shape (Mill and Pocket cycles) the user is
prompted to select the shape after touching Use.
Tab dialogues may be divided into more than one section
as shown on the Pocket Cycle - Basic tab dialogue. The
upper section is always the minimal input, requiring each
field to be filled in. The lower section(s) field inputs are for
additional (or optional information).
