5 Working with the worksheet
To design a cam profile in Cam Designer, you first specify the required parameters (boundary conditions)
on the ”worksheet” using graphical objects. The worksheet has three levels arranged on top of each
other. The lowest level is the Object Input Mode, the second level is the Curve Mode and the third
level is the Interpolation Mode.
In each of the levels the graphical elements of the underlying (preceding) levels are still visible and are
used for following calculations. However, you can only edit the elements of the active level and not the
elements of the underlying level(s). This principle is analogous to working with tracing paper. Here too,
information is available from lower sheets without being able to change them.
