Operation with ISD Toolbox
5.7.7 CAM Editor (Servo Drive only)
The ISD CAM Editor is a software tool for creating, editing,
and visualizing CAM profiles, see chapter 2.4.5 CAM Mode
for further information on CAM profiles. The ISD CAM Editor
is a multiple document interface program (MDI). The
parent window containing all CAM profiles is called Main
Window and the windows containing the CAM profiles
themselves are called CAM Profile windows.
The CAM Editor is implemented as an ISD Toolbox subtool,
5 5
but it is not hosted as a dockable subtool inside the ISD
Toolbox Main Window. Instead it is opened in a separate
window. This allows the window to be maximized and
used independently of the other ISD Toolbox subtools. In
this way, it is possible to maximize the CAM Editor on 1
monitor and the ISD Toolbox on another for convenient
editing and testing of CAM profiles.

File menu
The File menu contains entries for creating, saving, loading,
and exporting CAM projects and CAM profiles. It also
contains the list of recently opened CAM Editor projects.
Illustration 5.48 CAM Editor File Menu
The New entry opens a new CAM Editor project. Therefore,
it removes all opened CAM profiles, closes their respective
CAM profile windows, and shows the Add CAM Profile
wizard (see chapter 5.7.7.4 Wizards).
The Open entry opens a saved CAM Editor project. If there
are any opened CAM profiles, they are closed automatically
before opening the CAM project from the selected file.
The Save and Save As saves the CAM Editor project under
the already entered file name or using a new file name.
