Customizing

This section describes how to customize settings for Machining.

Before you start your first working session, you can customize the settings to suit your working habits. Your customized settings are stored in permanent setting files: they will not be lost at the end of your session.

Other tasks for customizing your Machining environment are documented in the NC Manufacturing Infrastructure User's Guide:
