Your machines, materials, configurations and tool libraries are stored in your CloudNC account, so they're the same on every computer. Your preferences and recent choices in the CAM Assist window are stored on the computer you use, so a second computer starts with its own. Settings for one part are saved with that part.
What's stored where
| Setting | Stored | Same on another computer? |
|---|---|---|
| Machines, materials, configurations, tool libraries | Your CloudNC account | Yes |
| Units, theme, SpaceMouse | This computer | No |
| The machine, material, configuration and tool libraries you last chose | This computer | No |
| Table page size, stage pane width | This computer | No |
| Skipped updates, notifications you've read | This computer | No |
| Language | This computer, by the CAM Assist add-in | No |
| Setups and choices for one part, including changes to the part's configuration | The part, in your CAM package | Yes, with the part file |
Custom machines, materials, configurations and tool libraries are shared with everyone in your organization. CloudNC's own machines, materials, configurations and tool libraries are read-only.
Settings saved on this computer aren't shared between CAM packages or between Windows users.
In SolidCAM:
- Settings for one part are saved in a file in the CAM part's folder. If that folder is read-only, they aren't saved.
- The add-in doesn't store a language. CAM Assist starts in SolidCAM's language each time.
What this means for you
- On a new computer, your machines, materials, configurations and tool libraries are already there. Set your preferences again.
- If your machine or material choice "resets", you may be on a different computer or a different part.
- To keep settings for a part, save the part in your CAM package after you've used CAM Assist on it.
