JEWELCAD-Part 2


JEWELCAD / CAM part 2
(Computer Aided Designing and Computer Aided Manufacturing).

Here I will continue my writing about JewelCAD part 1.
As it goes I will discuss about the following toolbars, which I think plays a very
important role in making designs using JewelCAD.
Toolbars are:
1.Curve toolbars.
2.Surface toolbars.

From the toolbars above both have a very important role in the process of
drawing, it is because the two toolbars are very closely related to each other.
Here CURVE toolbars are very instrumental in making the framework /
foundation of the image that we will make, which is then followed by the
formation of the surface (surface) using SURFACE toolbars.
Because if there is a picture within the framework of making a little mistake
was the result of the surface will not correct / good.
It is therefore very important and essential if we need to give little attention to
these two toolbars.

6. CURVE toolbars. 
    In these toolbars are tools that serve to make the curve fit with what we
needed.From each of these tools have various functions that we can adjust the
pattern that we will create an image.
The results of the curve in the form of 2D images that will be generated by
surface toolbars to produce images in 3D.
Consists of several tools, among others:
- Cut & Paste.
- Vertical Mirror Copy.
- Horizontal Mirror Copy.
- Revolve Copy.
- Cycle Copy.
- Extend Copy.
- Revolve Copy.

7. SURFACE toolbars. 
    This is a continuation of toolbars toolbars curve, as I have made above that
this toolbar has been linked to curve toolbar.
At SURFACE toolbars there are a variety of tools we can use to form a 3D
object with no difficulty.
However, the results of these toolbars SURFACE rely on 2D images that we
created with toolbars CURVE.
The tools of the toolbars are SURFACE;
- Extend Surface.
- Vertical Revolve.
- Horizontal Revolve.
- Loft Surface.
- Pipe Surface.
- Rail Surface.

8. Boolean toolbars. 
    Has a function to perform cuts between the intersection
between two surface or lebih.Dan also has usefulness as a Group or
Ungroup the objects we make.
In the toolbar there are, among others;
- Union.
- Dis-Boolean.
- Intersect.
- Subtract.


Likewise I give a little review about JewelCAD its explanation of the
function-funsi toolbars that exist in JewelCAD.
From here I look forward to a little help for the not so familiar with what
exactly JewelCAD.

JEWELCAD-Part 1


JEWELCAD / CAM 
(Computer Aided Designing and Computer Aided Manufacturing). 

Below I will give some idea / interfaces on the toolbar
that exist in jewelcad.
JewelCAD toolbar consists of several commands, which are used when we
begin to create a design:
1. File toolbars.
2. View Toolbars.
3. General toolbars.
4. Copy toolbars.
5. Deform toolbars.
6. Curve toolbars.
7. Surface toolbars.
8. Boolean toolbars.

Of this type of tool bars above all have a function and usability will each but
interrelated in their use when we begin to create a design with JewelCAD.
With our grasp, understand, and can apply in the design process itself
becomes a thing that should / must for anyone JewelCAD users.

Here is a picture and description of the tool bars on JewelCAD;
1. FILE toolbars 
    Has the standard functions like a computer program contained on the
other software.Its have a function:
   - New     : Opening sheets / display new work.
   - Open    : Reopen the file Jcad we already save.
   - Save as: Serves to store files Jcad we have made.
   - Help     : As a tool for us to look for information about
                   tool bars or orders that existed at JewelCAD.
2. VIEW toolbars 
    Has a function in helping us in terms of viewpoint / direction and also the
position of our vision at the time of drawing using JewelCAD.
Starting from:
   - Mode form that we want to use / display on the screen of our work.
   - The layout / position that we can use when drawing.
   - The display screen of our work that we can set the direction of view of    
      image us.
3. GENERAL toolbars. 
    Have in common with the existing functions of the computer program
    there now. (undo / redo)

For the next I will continue with the tool bars that I can say is very helpful in terms of
multiply.

4. COPY toolbars. 
    Serves to duplicate / multiply the object that we created (as needed)
without changing the shape or dimensions of the object.
In this case there is a COPY TOOL BARS toolbars that when we copy /
reproduce we are asked to determine the spacing (distance) from the object
and there are only based on the direction / location.

5. DEFORM toolbars. 
    On the tool bars has a function to change the location, position or shape of
the object that we are made. On the deform function:
    1. Changing the location, position or dimensions of the object.
    2. Changing the shape of the object that we created into a form that we
        choose in toolbars such as: bend, taper, skew, etc
So basically DEFORM toolbars have a function to make changes to the objects
we make.


Here is an overview of the work screen JewelCAD and location of toolbars that
exist in JewelCAD.


From the description of this first stage JewelCAD I wish I could give a little explanation about JewelCAD.
And I will continue with the next stage JewelCAD 2.
