Accuracy of Imported CAD Data

The accuracy of the CAD model that is imported into EdgeCAM is a crucial element in defining the

accuracy to which the model can be machined. To ensure that the model is machined to the required

accuracy in EdgeCAM you should ensure that the model is created in the CAD system to at least the

desired machining tolerance.

Also see the notes in Loading of Granite Models (Solid Machinist for Granite licence only)

Please refer to the documentation of your CAD system on how to check and/or configure the accuracy of

the model to be exported.
