Amazing what’s new! - DS CAM V5
The new Homepage
After launching the CAM, the system will now take you directly to this start page, which is designed as an informative dashboard and provides you with a comprehensive overview of the current state of your software environment.
The homepage is your hub for relevant information: From here, you will be informed about important announcements, available updates, and identified faulty projects. Additionally, the dashboard provides direct access to pending jobs, available blanks, or holders.
The functions of the homepage go beyond simply providing information. It also serves as an effective interface for various workflows. From here, you can directly import a new job, create a new blank or holder, or open the last project you worked on. A click on the corresponding button takes you straight to the desired task.
Navigation within the CAM is now even more user-friendly thanks to the new homepage. You can return to the homepage at any time by simply clicking the CAM logo in the upper left corner. This shortcut works from any dialog and takes you directly back to the dashboard
The new homepage of the CAM is a significant step in our ongoing efforts to improve the user-friendliness and efficiency of our software. Explore it today and experience firsthand how it optimizes your workflows!

Additionally, you can export the data with just one click into an Excel spreadsheet to get a perfect overall view of the workload in your lab's CAM milling area. Discover how the new job search dialog makes your workflow more efficient and helps you stay organized!
Faulty/broken projects are detected and offered for repair.
"We have implemented a new feature in the CAM to ensure the smooth operation of your software. There have been situations where the CAM could not start due to faulty projects. With our new control function when loading projects at CAM startup, we can now detect faulty projects, and the CAM starts without loading these faulty projects into the disc/holder browser. Instead, they are listed on the homepage."
With the new 'Repair and Reload' button, you can instruct the CAM to repair the faulty project. This may involve, for example, removing a faulty job or an incorrect internal file from the project. If a repair is not possible, the faulty project will be deleted to ensure the functionality of the CAM.
If you prefer to continue with your daily work despite the notification of a faulty project, you can do so and contact support for any questions regarding the faulty project if necessary.
This new feature enhances the robustness of the CAM and ensures that you can continue working without interruption, even in the case of potentially faulty projects.
The new strategy dialogue
Strategy list
Optimize your workflow with the new strategy dialog in CAM! This innovative feature allows you to get a comprehensive overview of all available strategies and customize your system to meet your daily needs.
Use the filter options to quickly find the information relevant to you, or utilize the search function to look for a specific strategy.
Do you have strategies that you never use but are always available in work preparation? With the new strategy dialog, you can easily deactivate them.
Additionally, you can take advantage of the new 'Create Set' feature to duplicate a complete OEM strategy and tools package and make it available for individual customization. This feature is available when an OEM set is assigned to your machine.
The duplicated set is created as an open copy, allowing you to change tool numbers and strategy parameters as needed to fit your specific requirements.
Please note: This feature can also be applied via the new tool dialog.
Discover how the new strategy dialog can boost your productivity and make your workday easier!

Strategy Parameters
"Maximum control and clarity at your fingertips!
Our latest update presents the key parameters of each individual strategy step at a glance. You can now directly compare them with other strategy steps. Additionally, with a closer look, all parameters that define a milling step are visible on the right-hand side. A maximum of information at a glance!
We have made the strategy definition area even clearer and more user-friendly. Unnecessary clicks and switching between different areas have been reduced to a minimum.
Here’s how it works: After adding the desired milling step to the strategy via 'drag & drop' or 'double click,' or activating an existing milling step with a 'mouse click,' the user can decide whether it should be calculated from the 'top' or 'bottom.' The milling parameters are displayed directly next to the strategy step list and can also be edited directly from there."

Strategy Tools
"Maximum control and clarity in your hands!
To simplify the selection of the appropriate milling tool, switching from the 'Parameters' tab to the 'Tools' tab displays a clear list of available tools. A single 'mouse click' on the desired tool is enough to assign it to the step.
Discover how the new detailed information on strategies can optimize your workflows and offer you unprecedented control and clarity!
Here’s how it works: After adding the desired milling step to the strategy using 'drag & drop' or 'double click,' or by activating an existing milling step with a 'mouse click,' the user can decide whether it should be calculated 'from above' or 'from below.' The milling parameters are displayed right next to the strategy step list and can be edited directly from there."
Duplicating strategy steps
Efficiency and precision go hand in hand with our new feature for duplicating strategy steps!
Do you need a second, identical, or similar milling step for your strategy? With the new 'Duplicate' function for strategy steps, you can now save a significant amount of time. At the same time, it reduces the potential for errors that can occur when manually changing parameters.
This new feature makes the creation and customization of strategies in CAM even faster and more reliable. Try it out and experience firsthand how it optimizes your workflow.
