Before importing machine solid components as Virtual Machine objects (either in the Quest Developer, or at run-time in Gener or CeRun), use your CAM system to edit the component and remove unnecessary features in the body. For example, all of the holes and key ways of the pallet shown below at left can be removed [...]
All the CAM systems supported by CAM-POST have the ability to control the coolant flow during machining. Each system uses specific parameters to control the coolant flow and to select various coolant options and pressures. Systems which output Cutter Location data use for this purpose the standard major word COOLNT; other systems generate information which [...]

If you are using multiple CAM systems, CAM-POST can generally automatically determine the appropriate CAM interface kit based on the file extension and contents of the CLDATA file (e.g., aptsource, cls, nci…). Using the "Automatic" interface simplifies running CAM-POST, since you do not have to remember to manually switch CAM interfaces each time you [...]
1. Launch your current version of Gener (for example V19.0). 2. Click "Quick Start" on right side (in older versions, this button is labeled "DB manager"). 3. Right-click your database file and select "Upgrade…". 4. The system will automatically create a database file with the version number suffix appended to the name (e.g. xxxx_200.dbf). [...]
