Area Content : Machinable Object

In This Topic

The Machinable Object has a dual purpose. It can :-

contain a 3D model of any object;
deliver the required machining to fit the object.

The machinable object allows the selection of any item in the ‘Hardware’ table (<your CabMaster folder>\Table\hardware.qlt) which can be maintained on the Catalog/Drawing Hardware > Managers page. These can be customised to your requirements.

The objects dimensions are held in the table <your CabMaster folder>\Table\Machining\Accessories\Accessories.qlt.
