Apply custom CAM sequence
Opens a CAM tooling window. This feature is used to apply CAM tooling tags to selected intellishapes. This also can be done manually by adding a vertical line ‘|’, followed by the desired CAM Tool to the intellishape. Eg. ‘HBlock|SPLIT’.

Applying custom Tooling
Add the macro’s shown below to the name of IntelliShapes in order to apply CAM Tooling in a fast way.
|DOWEL
Converts a 8mm hole into a dowel component to be used in the CAM software.
|SPLIT
This macro will split the H-Block into two parts, in order to prevent edgeband to break apart from a panel. Having a H-block positioned on the edge of a panel (finished with edgebanding) normally the rotating drill will enter the cut out shape on the starting point and follow the contour to the end point. As this can cause edgebanding detaching from the panel, this macro will set the tooling of this shape to be entered twice from the outside direction of the edge.
|CONTOUR
Set an H-Block to be contoured in stead of completely remove the inside material.
|VERBLADE
Apply a vertical sawing blade to an (rectangular shaped) H-Block in stead of using a drill.
|HORBLADE
Apply a horizontal sawing blade to an (rectangular shaped) H-Block on the end sides of a board in stead of using a drill.
|LINE
Treat a (rectangular) H-block as a line operation over the center line of the H-block.
|DELETE
Remove this operation from the CNC program.
|DELETEHOR
Remove this operation from the end sides of a boards CNC program.
Conditions
– The button CAM Tooling is only active when a part is selected
Tip
It does not matter in which order you assign the sheet material or edgebanding
