Turning Tools at the CAM Part level of the CAM tree defines the machine settings and cutting conditions for Turning in BobCAM.
To access to these settings click the next to CAM Part to expand the tree, then right-click Turning Tools. A shortcut menu appears with the following items.
Compute All Toolpath - This item in the menu causes every feature that is already in the tree to recompute their toolpaths in the order that they are listed. Depending on the number, type, and complexity of those features, the recompute time may vary.
Post - After all toolpaths in the tree are computed, click this item to post process a completed NC program. All features in the tree located under Turning Stock are posted unless they are set to not post.
Post & Save As - This item operates the same as Post, but also automatically opens a Save As dialog box which allows you to rename and choose where to save the finished NC program.
Tools - BobCAM allows you to edit nearly all parameters of the lathe tools in the default tool library to match what is actually used in your shop.
Assign Tool Holders - BobCAM allows you to change the shape of the tool holder to match the same holder in the shop.
Assign Tool Inserts - BobCAM allows you to change the shape of the tool inserts to match the same inserts in the shop.
Current Settings - The settings for the machine can be changed from this menu item.
