Entering values

Whenever you enter a value into an edit box you can use any units you like. The units you use will be converted into your 'preferred  units' as soon as you leave the edit box.

For example if your default units are millimetres but you are using a 0.25 inch cutter then just type in 0.25 in. The units are not case sensitive so 0.25IN 0.25 inch or 0.25 Inch would all work. If you type in a value without any units SheetCam assumes you are using your preferred units.

 

As soon as you leave the edit box it will be converted to 6.35mm


The available linear units are:

Metric: um, mm, cm, m

The available angular units are:

The available feed rate units are
