SmartCAM v2014 Modeling Improvements

New and improved modeling capabilities make it easier to define complex profiles using limited dimensional data, or by performing operations on multiple closed boundaries.

2D Profile Geometry Boolean Unite / Subtract / Intersect

The new Geometry Boolean modeling task is used to create closed boundaries by uniting, subtracting or intersecting two sets of individual or groups of closed profile boundaries.

Boolean can be used on CAD and CAM geometry, meaning that it is of benefit when creating or modifying any SmartCAM model elements: part profiles, toolpaths, stock boundaries, machining containment boundaries, tooling geometry and fixture profiles.

Geometry Profile Functionality Redesign

The Profile modeling task interface has been redesigned for improved ease of use and productivity by providing a single, tabbed control panel with tabs for profile start, line and arc element creation functions replacing the three individual panels used in previous versions.

Profile modeling functionality has also been improved. Now, all elements of the current profile remain Pending, and the profile tool erase function can be used to back-up and edit the entire profile geometry.
