Adding CAD Furniture

What is Furniture?

The furniture feature allows a user to define fixed models in the workspace that the system will consider when planning paths to avoid collisions. These furniture pieces will remain at their defined location and orientation when manipulating the location and orientation of the CAD part. Furniture will also persist between projects and sessions of CMM-Manager.

Starting in version 3.5, this option is available to permanently import and locate CAD elements into your software / environment, thus allowing import of Cal Spheres, Probe Racks, Fixturing, Vices, etc. that will participate in Path Planning / Collision Avoidance.

How to import and Locate Furniture:

1) Import CAD

2) Measure Alignment

3) Sync CAD (occurs automatically if Alignment is determinant)

4) Open CAD Editor

5) Click Add to Furniture from Layers Tab
