PYTHA Workshop - Adding a Router

Any number of Router tools can be added to your Workshop setup. You will need to add any routers that you wish to export machining information for into your PYTHA Workshop Tool Definitions. Once added to the Tool Definitions you can assign your routers through Router Edges and Materials Strategies.

  1. Open PYTHA Workshop
  2. Open Settings
  3. Open Tools from the Machine Setup section
  4. Click <New> at the bottom of the Number column to add an additional line
  5. Enter a Tool Number, Name, and set the Type to "Router Universal"
  6. Click OK to save your Tool Definitions
  7. Your new tool will now be available in Router Edges and Materials Strategies

If you are processing with AlphaCAM or EnRoute it is possible to make up new tool names as needed to trigger different styles or strategies - Your CAM system will take care of the tooling specifics.

If you are using CAM Biesse/CIX, you must enter the Tool Name exactly as it appears on your machine, including capital letters.
If you are using CAM WoodWop, you must enter the correct tool number.
