Information boxes for machining - Overview

 

Extra data about machining for the part list

 

Part list data can be extended and customised beyond the fixed fields to include extra data. For machining this information is typically used to control the part drawings and machining instructions for each part, file names; location of each drawing, location of files for horizontal drilling ...  as the data is sent to a Machining centre. With the information boxes this data can be stored against each part and the data controlled on a per part basis.

 

The information boxes are set at the Information box parameters (Main screen - Parameters - Information boxes)

Once the boxes (fields) are set up the fields apply to every part list and can be used throughout the program.
