The Data Entry Manager

The Data Entry Manager is located, by default, on the left side of the application, docked with the CAD Tree Manager, the CAM Tree Manager, the Operations Manager, and the BobART Manager. The location of the Data Entry Manager, however, can be adjusted to preference, as explained in the  Introduction to Docking Panes topic. When starting a file from scratch, the Data Entry Manager is, most likely, the first Manager pane you will be introduced to. When you first select a CAD creation tool, its parameters will automatically be opened in the Data Entry Manager. Through the Data Entry Manager, you will make choices and enter data as necessary, and either cancel out of the function, or choose another function to use. The Data Entry Manager is also where geometry assignment for CAM and BobART features/operations is handled. Along with geometry selection, general parameters such as depths and chain directions are also handled in the Data Entry Manager.
