Step 3: Set the Setup Information
1. Select Setup Info on the CAM menu.
The Setup Information command on the CAM menu is used for the following:
− to provide information required to generate the NC program. The parameters in this
dialog box are machine-dependent and different parameters may display for your
controller or post processor. The value for a parameter is output in the NC code if the
machine requires it.
− to provide information for the Setup Sheet, a file that is created when the NC program
file is generated. All of the parameters in this dialog box are included in the Setup
Sheet. For more information on this file, see page 1-16.
− to display the sheet size and the locations of the clamps.

The Setup Information dialog box displays
when you select Setup Information on the
CAM menu.
The parameters shown in the figure are for
a Laser controller and are required for most
NC programs. Additional parameters, such
as Part Name and Part Number, may
display if they are required by the
controller.
