To zoom the display, scroll with the mouse wheel.ДЄ rectangle object should appear in the drawing tree and it's properties will be displayed in the object property window.Д¬hange the Height, Width and LowerВ Left point if required. The arrow keyboard keys can also be used to pan the display. Hint: To pan the drawing view, click and drag the drawing with the center mouse button. Click the origin for the lower left point then the point (5,2.375).ДЄgain, if the exact coordinates can not be selected then don't worry as these can be edited under the rectangle object's properties. To simplify drawing, we will draw the rectangle with the lower left corner on the origin then center it. Once again, a prompt will be displayed at the top of the drawing window to guide the current drawing operation. Select the rectangle drawing tool button from the tool bar. We will make our mounting plate 5' (127mm) wide and 2.375' (60.3mm) tall. The rectangular body of a Nema 23 stepper is about 2.36' (60mm). Step 3 - Drawing a rectangle and making it central Insert a second circle with center the origin and make the diameter 0.5. These values can be modified in the object properties window if required. The Center property should read 0,0,0 and the Diameter should read 1.5. Object properties window on the lower left. The properties for this circle will be displayed in the If the current grid settings will not allow selecting an exact point, chose a point nearby then the circle diameter can be modified later.ДЄ circle drawing object will now appear in the drawing tree on the left. The point coordinates can be seen on the bottom right of the lower status bar. Next, select another point on the circle. The drawing context menu, then click View - Snap to Grid. If snap to grid is not turned on, right click the drawing to display Select the center point for the circle on the drawing origin (0,0). Select the circle drawing tool button from the tool bar.ДЄ prompt will be displayed at the top of the drawing window to guide the current drawing operation. We will also draw a circle to denote the shaft clearance hole with diameter 0.5' (12.7mm). This circle will later be used to form a circular pocket.ДЇor a Nema 23 stepper motor, this area is around 1.5' (38.1mm) diameter. We will draw a circle to define the raised circular area around the stepper shaft. To zoom the image so that it fills the screen and makes it central, select View - Zoom Actual Size from the main menu Show the drawing grid and axis by selecting the Show Axis Selecting No will change the current drawing to Inches but leave the current global units setting unchanged.

Select Yes to update the global setting as well as the current drawing. The global units option is used to set the drawing units for new drawings. This question refers to the global drawing units property that is set This will prompt : 'Would you like to change the default units to Inches?'. In this example we are going to work in Inches, so the first step is to select the drawing units from the toolbar. Start with a empty drawing, use File - New or the new file icon from the toolbar. Operations based on these geometric objects and finally generate gcode files.Дownload the files used in this tutorial Step 1 - Create and set up a new drawing. The basic work flow for generating CAM files in CamBam is to first draw or load in drawing objects, then insert machining The object is a mounting plate for a Nema 23 stepper motor and will include CAD, pockets and drilling machine operations. This sample project will demonstrate the general process involved in going from a new drawing to final gcode. Documentation for the latest CamBam release is available here.
