This ensures any changes you make to the style will automatically be available to the machining operation. Right click the profile machining operation, then select Reset to defaults.

Switch back to the Drawing tab at the top of the drawing tree.

To make use of it in the current drawing. The '5mm plate' style will now be available to all your drawings. This will copy the properties set in your machining operation into the new style.

Right click the new style and select Paste format.

Rename the new style to something meaningful, such as '5mm plate'.

Right click the Plasma-mm style, then select New CAM style.

Select the System tab at the top of the drawing tree, then expand the CAM Styles folder.

Right click the machining operation, then select Copy.

To make the modified style available to this and other drawings: For example, reduce the Cut Feedrate when cutting thicker plate. To create a new machining style, alter the properties of the profile machining operation to suit your operation. If the default style is customised to suit your most common plasma operations, no further changes may be needed to the machining operations in the drawing. The profile machining operation inherits all its properties from the default (blank named) style in the Plasma-mm style library. Multiple shapes can be selected (insides and outers), and a single profile machining operation inserted to cut them. If the profile is set to Inside the reverse is true. If the profile is set to an Outside cut, then the inside circle will be cut on the Inside of the line and the outer square will be cut on the Outside of the shape. For example, if you select two shapes a circle within a square, then insert a profile operation,Д¬amBam will realise that the circle should be cut first. Profile machining operations will automatically detect inside and outside shapes. Plasma hardware does vary, so you should check and customise the plasma post processor to make sure any g-code produced is suitable for your machine. The square can be replaced with your own shapes, then relinked to the machining operation by selecting and dragging the drawing objects in the drawing tree, onto the profile machining operation. This drawing is set to refer to the plasma CAM style library and post processor.ДЄ 100mm square is included, which is linked to a profile machining operation. To start a plasma drawing, use the File - New From Template menu command, then select the plasma.cb file. Restart CamBam and you are now ready to start working with plasma. To find this location, use the Tools - Browse system folder menu command from within CamBam.

These files need to be copied into subfolders of the CamBam system folder. The resource file contains a post processor definition, a CAM style library and a drawing template. Here are some settings and tips we use to drive our own plasma cutter.
