If the Part does not have a defined Style, the Style set against the Machining object will be used. If the Style property is left blank for a machining operation, the Style specified in the containing Part object will be used. Machine operation, Part and Machining CAM stylesĬAM Styles can be specified at the Part level and in the top level Machining folder. It is not necessary to also provide the dependent style definitions, as all the required information will be preserved within the file. In this way, if a drawing is transferred to another computer or sent to another person, The cache conflict alert was added to prevent inadvertent changes to a drawing resulting from changing a style or The next time the file is opened, changed default properties will once This remains in effect until the file is closed. If Use same action for all conflicts is checked, the same response will be used whenever a new conflict is detected.
This will change the property from a Default to an explicit Value. Use existing value - the old value will continue to be used.Use new value - the newly calculated default value will be used.The warning message provides the following options: That affect the result of the automatic calculation have changed. This may occur if the value stored in the parent style has changed, or if the style uses an Auto value and parameters If the result of a Default property has changed from the previous value used, a Property Cache Conflict message may be shown. Where the value of the selected property will be taken from.
Inherited style invokes a message box showing
This context menu also contains an Inherited style command. In this way, the property is overridden from the valueĬlicking the value icon to the right of the property name, or right clicking the property, will display a menu where the property value stateĬan be selected. Value - The property value has been entered explicitly.
Machining operation and Style properties can have multiple states, indicated by the icon to the right of the property name.ĭefault - The value of the property will be taken from the CAM style associated with the machining operation.ĭefault property values will be displayed in grey italics and will show the default value that will be used.Īuto - Indicates the property value is to be calculated internally by CamBam, often based on other settings.įor example if the Target Depth property is set to Auto, the depth will be calculated to cut the full thickness of the stock object. Note: Styles replace a system of Templates that were used in previous versions of CamBamĪnd provided a similar purpose. If no style is selected, a default style will be selected automatically. In this way, any changes to a CAM style will immediately affect all operations that refer to it. The value of machining operation properties that are marked as Default, will be taken from the style associated with the operation. This refers to a style definition, stored in a system library, which is available to all drawings. CAM Styles are a way of grouping machining operation parameters into reusable objects to help simplify common machining tasks.Įach machining operation has a Style property.
