For example, after typing in “license” in our search field, we then select “License File” over on the left side of our given suggestions.

Similar in operation as we had discussed for the Find Tab, we can leverage searching for topic information inside CAMWorks by using the Search Tab. It’s as if having a “search within a search” function inside CAMWorks!

Not only do we have suggested subjects automatically propagate on the left side of our menu, if you select the “Display” button at the bottom of the screen, CAMWorks will automatically open up a “Topics Found” window which will give you the option to view your topic in detail. For example, let’s type in “User-defined tools”.ĬAMWorks Help Topics – Index (Find field continued)

Sorted numerically and alphabetically into detailed, yet easy-to-understand definitions, the Index Tab expands further on leveraging “how-to” information inside CAMWorks.ĬAMWorks Help Topics – Index (Find field)Ī great time savings function inside the Index Tab is utilizing the Find Field. For those of you who like to print and physically write topic-related notes on your hard copies, it is just a matter of selecting the Print icon up near the top.

Intuitively broken down into top-level subjects, the Contents Tab lists everything from basic CAMWorks Help to advance subjects addressing Multiaxis Machining. As previously mentioned, we will focus on the following topics (as located in the CAMWorks2014圆4 main folder): CAMWorks Help Topics and Manuals (Tutorials). We have several folders where we can leverage information for getting started in CAMWorks. Why is this important, you ask? Minimizing guesswork, saving time, and/or saving money by doing the job correctly the first time are just a few examples worth mentioning. One of the keys to any successful project is to have access to all related information before starting the project. There are two ways to approach this task: Jump right into CAMWorks, start picking and clicking to see what icon “potentially” does what or leverage all available CAMWorks Help Topics and CAMWorks Manuals (Tutorials) at the click of a mouse button from the Windows Start Menu. Now that you have CAMWorks installed on your computer, it is now time to “dive in” and experience what CAMWorks is about.
