Learn about loading and exploring the HSM ribbon.
- [Instructor] Now that I have HSMXpress installed,…you can see here we have a tab at the top…of the screen called CAM, and I've hidden the rest…of the tabs that we're not currently using.…If you want to show any of those tabs,…you can right click on any one of the tabs,…and turn on or turn off any one of these tool pallets…that you'd like.…We want the one down here called CAM…and that's all we really need.…We also might want to keep sketch and features on as well,…and I also like to keep on direct editing and evaluate…'cause I pretty much use those tools all the time,…but anyways, make sure at least that you have…the CAM toolbar turned on.…
Now once you're in the CAM toolbar,…you have this ribbon bar right up here at the top,…and these are the basic tools we're going to be using…throughout the manufacturing process…or creating the tool paths to machine…this component right here.…So the first thing you're pretty much always going to do is…you're going to start a job.…As soon as you click on a job,…it's going to ask you what type of job it is,…
