The CLSF (cutter location source file) Manager allows you to manipulate and display the indivitual tool pathes and/or the entire CSLF by using the options below. A tool path contains GOTO points and other tool path descriptive data (e.g., MCS location, tool parameters, and display settings). Each tool path is associated with and generated from a named operation (P1, P2, etc.).
To display the CLSF Manager dialog, select Tools>CLSF from the main menu bar. The system will then display the CLSF Specification dialog box from which you must choose the CLSF you wish to manage. Once you have specified the CLSF and selected OK, the CLSF Manager dialog box displays.

CLSF Actions |
|
|
Import |
Imports all the information in the CLSF into internal tool paths of the operations in the part. If an operation corresponding to the tool path does not exist a Machine Control Operation is created and the tool path is imported into it. All the operations will be grouped under a PROGRAM Group which will be named the same as the CLSF. |
|
Resequence |
Renumbers the CLSF file |
|
Optimize |
Preselects a tool for the next tool path, suppresss duplicate tool change commands in consecutive tool paths, removes postprocessor commands which are generated (or inserted) at the end of each tool path, verifies that tool paths which use a different tool than the previous tool path contain a tool change command |
|
Edit |
Performs text editing operations on the current Cutter Location Source File |
|
Postprocess |
Determines how the output file is formatted |
