NC Operation Manager

Access: Open this function from one of the following locations:

  • Select NC Process Manager from the toolbar.

  • Select View > Pane > NC Process Manager from the menu bar.

The NC Operation Manager is a table displaying the values of any editable parameters currently applied to toolpath procedures.

The NC Operation Manager is used to edit one or more parameters in one operation.

  • Each table column represents a parameter. 
  • Each row in the table represents a procedure, shown in the order they appear in the Process Manager. 

Changes applied to parameters in the Operation Manager are reflected immediately in the Process Manager. Some parameters are displayed with a grey background and cannot be edited, these are shown for reference only. 

The seven function buttons displayed across the top of the table are used to edit the cell values and are unavailable unless one or more cells in the table are selected. For more see Operation Manager Function Buttons.

Note: Cimatron is locked while the Operation Manager is open.

Edit Parameters in the NC Operation Manager

The procedure to edit parameters is shown here;

  1. Select one or more parameters to edit. For more, see Selecting parameters in the NC Operation Manager.
  2. Click the function button displaying the operation you wish to perform. For more, see Operation Manager Function Buttons.
  3. Complete the fields in the displayed dialog. For more, see Operation Manager: Editing Procedure Parameters.
  4. Click OK. The Operation Manager table is updated with the new values.
  5. When you have finished editing parameters, close the NC Operation Manager. Changes applied to parameters in the Operation Manager are reflected immediately in the Process Manager. 

The NC Operation Manager holds a large amount of information, but you can customize the display to show the items that are more important and useful to the task at hand.

The NC Operation Manager displays the current makeup and status of each procedure in the NC file. Each of these entries can be cut (Ctrl+X), copied (Ctrl+C), pasted (Ctrl+V), or deleted.

Identifying Column Names

A tooltip describing the column can be displayed by hovering the cursor over a column header. This tooltip is particularly useful for the very short column header names.
