Chapter 6 System Setup
Specifying permanent fixturing as the system default
The properties of each program include one of three possible fixturing modes;
None, Temporary and Permanent. Each fixturing mode requires different da-
tum activities when the program is executed:
• None:
No fixture is used.
A part datum must be created for each part.
• Temporary:
A temporary fixture is used.
A part datum must be created for the first only
series of parts.
• Permanent:
A permanent fixture is used.
The part datum is assumed to be constant.
It is not necessary to create a part datum.
The fixturing mode of each program can be changed from the default mode in
the Program Properties window.
The default fixturing mode for all pro-
grams can be set to Permanent in the
Programming Options screen.
Click the Default programming
fixturing... box to set the default program
fixturing to Permanent. Uncheck the
box to set the default fixturing to Tem-
porary.
