The Cutter Library is an NC tool that enables you to manage your cutter definitions. Cutter definitions may be held in one or more files and the Cutter Library defines libraries (collections) of one or more these files. This function is displayed if an NC file is active. |
||
|
|
Analyze selected curves and faces and remove duplicate ones. |
||
|
This group of functions is used to perform Engineering Change Order (ECO) operations. |
|||
|
|
The Material Library is a tool that enables you to define part material properties. This tool is used throughout Cimatron where materials need to be defined. |
||
|
|
Exclude parts, objects, or PMI entities from export and import operations. |
||
|
|
The Extension Library is an NC tool that is used to manage your cutter extensions. This function is displayed if an NC file is active. |

The Holder Library is an NC tool that enables you to manage your holder definitions. Holder definitions may reside in one or more files and the Holder Library enables a definition of libraries (collections) of one or more these files. This function is displayed if an NC file is active. |
||
|
|
Export and open all currently displayed geometry in the KeyShot® application for high quality rendering. |
||
|
|
Attach machining and tolerance information to holes. This enables you to apply and customize several types of manufacturing processes as well as diameter and depth tolerances. |
||
|
|
Perform NC operations on the selected files. This enables you to execute and post process toolpaths and procedures without having to enter a Cimatron NC file. You can select one or more files. |
||
|
