ONGAA CAM Generates MRPs in Inches
INCHES for Operators
Although the ‘underlying’ Units of measure of both SOLIDWORKS and WoodWOP are metric, this does not help operators accustomed to units in Inches.
Since one of the 4 ‘Guiding Mandates’ of ONGAA CAM is ‘ allow the operator to perform all operations as before’, we felt we should do something about this.
As of version 1.3.34, ONGAA CAM generates WoodWOP programs in Inches. This is independent of the Units of Measure of the model or programming units. Simply turn the option ON and ONGAA CAM creates the MPR with the WoodWOP Inch indicator ON and values in inches. All ‘geometric measures’ are converted to Inches as the MPR is generated. This includes all X,Y,Z locations, distances, radii and depths.
It should be noted that, at this time, programming in ONGAA CAM is still in metric (expected and displayed). This ensures that all programs (old and new) will … Read the rest
