User Interface: Action Bar

The action bar is the main command bar at the bottom of your window where commands are divided into sections.

Commands that are specific to Fabricated Step Definition are located in flyouts in the primary area of the Authoring section and are described below. For information about other commands in the action bar, see Manufactured Item Definition User's Guide.

This page discusses:

Flyout for Manufacturing Templates
Flyout for Machining Steps
Flyout for Formulas and Checks

Flyout for Manufacturing Templates


	Create a new Manufacturing Template Representation Creates a new manufacturing template representation. A manufacturing template representation may contain several manufacturing templates that can be applied later on geometry to generate machining steps. See Creating a Manufacturing Template.
	Existing Manufacturing Template Representation Opens an existing manufacturing template representation. Open the manufacturing template representation, previously saved in the server, in order to apply manufacturing templates on geometry to generate machining steps. See Creating a Manufacturing Template.
	Create a New Manufacturing Template Creates a new manufacturing template. Define a manufacturing template under a manufacturing template representation. It contains the machining steps sequence that generates the required In Process Model. For example, a Spot Drill machining step plus a Hole machining step. See Creating a Manufacturing Template.
	Apply a Manufacturing Template Applies a manufacturing template. Apply a manufacturing template on the geometry to generate the machining steps associated to the geometry, with the required parameters, taking into account the checks and formulas. See Applying a Manufacturing Template.

Flyout for Machining Steps

See Creating a Manufacturing Template to see how manufacturing templates include machining steps.


	Machining Step Hole Inserts a new Hole machining step. Create the geometrical feature for a Drilling operation. See Manually Creating Machining Steps.
	Machining Step Int Threaded Inserts a new Int Threaded machining step. Create the geometrical feature for a Thread Milling operation. See Manually Creating Machining Steps.
	Machining Step Circular Mill Inserts a new Circular Mill machining step. Create the geometrical feature for a Circular Milling operation. See Manually Creating Machining Steps.
	Machining Step Counterbore Inserts a new Counterbore machining step. Create the geometrical feature for a Counterboring operation. See Manually Creating Machining Steps.
	Machining Step Spot Drill Inserts a new Spot Drill machining step. Create the geometrical feature for a Spot Drilling operation. See Manually Creating Machining Steps.
	Machining Step TSlot Inserts a new T-Slot machining step. Create the geometrical feature for a T-slotting operation. See Manually Creating Machining Steps.
	Machining Step BackBore Inserts a new Back-bore machining step. Create the geometrical feature for a Back-boring operation. See Manually Creating Machining Steps.
	Machining Step Countersink Inserts a new Countersink machining step. Create the geometrical feature for a Counter Sinking operation. See Manually Creating Machining Steps.
	Machining Step Chamfered Hole Inserts a new Chamfered Hole machining step. Create the geometrical feature for a Chamfering operation. See Manually Creating Machining Steps.
	Machining Step 2 Sides Chamfered Hole Inserts a new 2 Sides Chamfered Hole machining step. Create the geometrical feature for a Chamfering 2 Sides operation. See Manually Creating Machining Steps.
	Machining Step Slab Inserts a new Slab machining step. Create the geometrical feature for a Facing operation. See Manually Creating Machining Steps.
	Machining Step Generic Inserts a new Generic machining step for modeling a material removal operation, in a manufacturing planning context. Create the geometrical feature for a Generic Milling operation. The volume of removed material is an input of this machining s. See Manually Creating Machining Steps.

Flyout for Formulas and Checks


	Machining Step Formula Editor Defines formulas on machining steps. Define a manufacturing template, then define formulas between the machining step parameters and design feature parameters. These formulas are solved when the template is applied on the geometry. See Defining Formula on Machining Steps.
	Machining Step Check Editor Defines checks on machining steps. Define a manufacturing template, then define checks on machining step parameters. These checks are fired when the template is applied on the geometry. See Defining Checks on Machining Steps.
