System settings
The system settings are stored in the registry and affect all the CAM-Parts.
Topology
General
This page enables you to define the location of the Coordinate System.
Place CoordSys at:
This option enables you to set the default location for the CoordSys Position created by the AFRM at the stage of the Feature Sets definition.
Corner of Model Box
The CoordSys position is automatically placed at the corner of the box surrounding the model.
CoordSys #1
The CoordSys position is automatically placed at the position of Machine CoordSys #1.
Connection
This page enables you to define parameters of the Hole Features connection.
Connection Holes
This option enables you to turn on/off the connection of the Hole Features.
Axis Tolerance
This parameter enables you to define the tolerance of the concentricity for the Hole Features that can be connected.
Use Max Distance between Holes
When this option is turned on, SolidCAM enables you to specify the maximal Distance between Hole Features that can be connected.
If the distance between the holes exceeds the specified value, holes will not be connected.
Thread
This page enables you to define the way how the threads are recognized.
By using HoleWizard information
The information from HoleWizard to determine threads and their parameters. When the By Cosmetic thread check box is selected, SolidCAM recognizes holes where thread is created by HoleWizard as a Cosmetic thread feature. When the By Hole specification and Hole shape check box is selected, SolidCAM recognizes holes using the information from the HoleWizard and analyzing the hole shape.
By Hole shape
SolidCAM analyzes the hole shape in order to recognize threads in holes.
SolidCAM enables you to specify the Default pitch value for the threads. You can assign a new pitch value (User value) for the thread in the Machinable Hole Feature segments dialog box.
Technology
General
Add Center Drill
This option enables SolidCAM to automatically perform the center drilling. The center drilling will be inserted before the machining of the first Machinable Hole Feature segment that will be machined with the drilling technology.
Calculate operations in Holes Recognition
This option enables you to postpone the calculation of the operations during insert them from the AFRM. Not calculated operations can be calculated later together with other CAM-Part operations.
When this check box is selected (default), SolidCAM calculates the operations inserted by AFRM.
Colors
The Color Settings page enables you to define the colors that will be used in the HR Manager for the items changed or inserted by the user.
