Knowledge Drawing

A knowledge drawing is where your knowledges (ways to cut) are stored. This will be an AutoCAD drawing where each knowledge is stored as a block that Router-CIM Automation Suite can access during the processing of a job.

 

New Knowledge Drawing

To create a New Knowledge drawing, select the appropriate button under the 'Knowledge and Post Info' window.

 

New Knowledge Drawing

New Drawing will allow you to have a new Knowledge drawing opened in AutoCAD. This will open the NewKnow.dwg drawing that is included with Router-CIM Automation Suite so that you can create cut knowledges or edit fixtures or table drawings in the knowledge drawing that you have selected.  Router-CIM Automation Suite will load with the default 'ROUTER' configuration. At this time, make sure to select the correct Post Processor to match the cut knowledges that you will be creating when the 'Configuration Wizard' is opened.

Edit a Knowledge Drawing

To edit a knowledge drawing, select the appropriate button under the 'Knowledge and Post Info' window.

 

 

Edit Knowledge Drawing

Edit Drawing will allow you to have the Knowledge drawing opened in AutoCAD, with Router-CIM running so that you can add, change, or delete cut knowledges or edit fixtures or table drawings in the knowledge drawing that you have selected.  Router-CIM will load with the same configuration that the knowledge drawing was made with originally.  For instance, if the drawing was configured for a specific post processor when it was made, then it will load into Router-CIM with that post processor in use when selected for editing.

 

CAUTION: If you have more then one knowledge drawing and one post processor, you must select the correct knowledge drawing you want and the correct post processor to edit first before hitting the 'Edit' button. If you select the incorrect knowledge drawing with the incorrect post processor and select edit, AutoCAD will open with the incorrect post processor selected. If you change the post processor during the Router-CIM configuration wizard, the knowledge drawing will be purged and your knowledges will be erased.

 

For more information on creating knowledges, please refer to the Router-CIM Manual and follow the steps for creating a Knowledge.
