Machine setup (project template)

The machine setup file is designed to quickly create a new project on the template.

You can save the project in the format of the machine setup file (*.stms). Use the menu item "Save as machine setup" in the drop-down menu of the project saving button on the application toolbar. After that, you can quickly create new projects using this file as a template.

The following data is saved in the file:

• machine

• stages, part (as a group of operations)

• fixtures (including position)

• tools

• approaches/returns

• workpiece coordinate systems list

• types of tool blocks, and placement in the turret

Under the new project button on the application toolbar, a new drop-down menu will appear where you can choose one of the recently used machine setup files. Or select another machine setup file, for this, use the "Create from machine setup file" menu item.

You can also import the machine setup file to the current project. To do this, use the "Import machine setup" from the drop-down menu of the opening button on the application toolbar. During import, all data from the machine setup file are added to the data of the current project, with the exception of the machine. If the project machine coincides with the machine from the machine setup file, then the machine parameters are updated from the machine setup file. If the machines are different, then, if possible, the parameters "Machine dimensions" and "Toooling" are updated.
