Overview

This chapter describes how you work with SIMOTION CamTool. You learn how

•to customize the display of the working area

•to edit a cam with CamTool

•to save a cam

•to customize the display of the cam

•to download a cam to a SIMOTION device

Note

The following operating instructions primarily describe the operation of SIMOTION CamTool using the functions in the menu bar.

You can also execute the functions from the context menus. In this case, right-click the element that you want to edit.

You can also execute the most import functions using the icons in the
