Job assignment of EDM and Jet cutting 4D operations
Job assignment for the wire EDM machining operations have a list of job assignment items. These items are machining geometry and also technology parameters. Job items can be viewed in short or full form. Each item may be a single contour or a folder which contains several contours.
The short view is a list of job assignment items, you can see it below:
The operation < 4D Contouring > allows to add 2D contour. The operation < 2D Contouring > can not add 4D contour.
The following functions are available:
< Wire EDM item 2D > – add selected item as 2D job assignment.
< Wire EDM item 4D > – add selected item as 4D job assignment. One of contour will be taken as upper, the second one will be taken as lower contour. This button is available only for < 4D Contouring >
< Properties > – opens a window with full view of the job assignment item properties. Several items can be edited at one time, just use the standard Windows keys combinations to select them.
