Use this to change the part instructions if necessary (drilling, routing etc).

 

The Machining editor works in the same was as the editing in the 'Machining library' and has very similar function. The difference is that the program is working with the calculated drawing sizes (absolute values) so formula and other variable functions are not available.

 

Select Exit to leave the Machining library screen and move back to the Machining drawing Summary view.

 

For full details of editing see the section: Machining library

 

 

Notes

 

- At a drawing you can also select the Machining editor option on the stacked toolbar to move to the Machining editor.

 

There are some further restrictions on the drawings:-

 

Links - not available

Borders - these can be set

 

A group is placed around instructions that come from a link drawing. This only applies if there are no groups within the original link drawing.
