Geometry: Parameters
The entities available for selection depend on the type of procedure you are running. To pick a geometry, click on the number listed under "Value" of the entity you want to pick. The following types of geometry can be picked:
- 5X Production Geometry
- Aiming Surfaces
- By Criteria (Geometry Selection)
- Check Surfaces
- Contours/Boundaries
- Cycle Data
- Feed Control Zone Surfaces
- Internal Sharp Edges
- Multi Surface Groups
- Overlap Surfaces
- Part and Stock Contours
- Part Surfaces
- Part2 Surfaces
- Parts Safe Milling
- Planes
- Pockets
- Procedures (for Transformation)
- Remachine Segments
- Start and End Milling Positions
- Surface Selection Options
- Switch to CAD & then CAM Mode (Geometry Change)
- Top and Base Limits of the milling area
- Transformation by Geometry
- Turning Contour Selection
When picking geometry, the shape of the cursor changes as you move over entities. The cursor informs you of the type of geometry you are over.
Notes:
-
You can narrow your choice of selections by activating the filter options menu.
-
You can create groups of geometry by using Sets.
-
You can select geometry automatically by criteria.
-
If you have to create additional geometry, you can use the Sketcher or any of the Part functions. Or, you can switch to CAD (Part application).
-
If the part file that you selected during Load Model is updated, the procedures will receive a
status flag, indicating a change in geometry. For information on updating dependent files, see Update Mode.
