    Getting Started

    In this chapter, you will learn how to create a project, add a new mechanism, prepare and import 3D objects, group elements into nodes, change the color of a mechanism, model and validate mechanisms, assemble mechanisms and configure machine equipment.

    Constructing kinematic schemes for different mechanisms, configuring assembly parameters and exporting assemblies to CAM system are described in the sections Milling Machines, Robots and Turn-Milling Machines.
