### Creating and Modifying Machines

PC-DMIS CNC Server allows you to define new machines or manage already defined NC machines. To do this, click the Define Machines button. The Define Machines dialog box appears showing a list of machines.

Define Machines dialog box

This dialog box contains these options:

New – The New button creates a new NC machine by launching the MachineDefinition dialog box.

Clone – The Clone button creates a new machine with the same parameters and settings as the selected machine. Make changes as needed to quickly create similar NC machines.

Modify – The Modify button modifies the selected machine from the list of defined machines by launching the MachineDefinition dialog box. Double-clicking on an existing machine also does this.

Delete – The Delete button removes the selected machine from the list of defined machines.

Changes made to a machine or the set of machines will not take place until after PC-DMIS CNC Server is exited and restarted. The information is held in <pc-dmis install directory>/CncMachineData/CncSettings.dat file.

The MachineDefinition dialog box contains various tabs that allow you to define a new machine or modify an existing machine.
