Type the appropriate values in the Home X, Home Y and Home Z boxes prior to calculating your toolpath. Information contained in this manual is subject to change without notice and does not represent a commitment by Delcam plc. You can specify the X, Y and Z coordinates of the Home position when creating a toolpath: Select the Model > Set Size menu option to display the Set Model Size dialog, click one of the five radio buttons in the dialog's Origin area, then click OK. You can change the position of the origin in an open model using the Set Model Size dialog: You can choose the position of the model's origin when creating a new model using the New Model dialog:Ĭlick any of the white box's four corners or it's centre to set the position of the model's origin. This is perhaps the most important selection that you will make in the toolpath generation process.
For example, Autodesk ArtCAM Standard 2017 (64-bit build 110). See the section on tool definition below for details. What version and build of ArtCAM 2017 are you working in?
