"WINDOW" CAM menu
Since many index cards temporarily change the
size of the CAM window due to their size, you can
display the standard window again by clicking on
→
"STANDARD". You can achieve the same result
with
→
"RECALC" or by clicking on another input
field outside of the “large” index card.

CAM Profile
You can view the graphic illustration of the curve,
parameters and other information in the curve
profile; you are also able to interactively modify and
insert fixpoints with the mouse and to enlarge the
illustration.
A blue header shows the curve name and the file
name of the displayed curve.
Inserting or deleting fixpoints with the mouse
Before you can interactively edit the fixpoints with
the mouse, you must have defined at least two fix-
points with master and slave coordinates in the
table. However, the curve is only displayed if at least
three points have been defined and if the curve can
be calculated.
You can insert points directly on the curve or at any
position you like in the coordinate field.
Inserting points on the curve between already
existing points:
Move the mouse cursor to a fixpoint until the hand
icon appears, then click on the right mouse button.
Select the desired action in the following pop-up
menu:
An additional fixpoint is inserted between the
selected and the previous point (to the left) with
→
"INSERT FIXPOINTS", it is also being added
immediately in the table. You cannot insert an
additional point in front of the first one with the
mouse.
You can delete the selected point with
→
"DELETE
FIXPOINT"; it will also be deleted immediately in the
table. You cannot delete the first and last fixpoint.
How to set any points into the coordinate field
Click on the desired position with the right mouse
button and select
→
"INSERT FIXPOINTs" in the
pop-up menu.
How to move Fixpoints interactively with the mouse
Move the mouse cursor to a fixpoint until the hand
icon appears, click on the left mouse button and
drag the point to the desired new position. The curve
will be redrawn simultaneously if "PERMANENT
RECALC" is activated. If this creates a disruption on
your computer, you can deactivate Permanent
Recalc; the curve will then be recalculated and dis-
played as soon as you release the mouse button.
The fixpoints should be placed on interval borders.
Otherwise, there can be no assurance that the curve
really goes through the fixpoints. Thus, you should
always activate
→
"SNAP ON GRID" if possible, pro-
vided that a meaningful
→
"NUMBER OF
INTERVALS" has already been defined.
How to change the Point Type in the diagram
There are curve points (type 1, shown in green) and
tangent points (type 2, shown in blue). Move the
mouse cursor to a fixpoint until the hand icon
appears and click on the right mouse button. In the
following pop-up menu, select the desired action:
The selected and the previous point (to the left) are
changed with
→
"CHANGE TYPE", either from curve
points to tangent points or vice versa. The changes
are also immediately executed in the table (index
card fixpoints).
How to zoom CAM profiles
In order to enlarge the diagram, click and hold the
left mouse button and drag a rectangle downwards
and to the right. The diagram will be enlarged in
accordance with the excerpt. You can repeat this
procedure several times until you obtain an
extremely detailed reproduction.
In order to reduce the diagram, click and hold the
left mouse button and drag a rectangle upwards and
to the left. The diagram will be displayed in the stan-
dard size again.
How to scroll CAM profiles
Click and hold the right mouse button and move
the mouse in the desired direction. In order to
display the diagram in the standard position again,
click and hold the left mouse button and drag a
rectangle upwards and to the left. Any possible
enlargement will also be reset in the course of this
action.
