Measuring Devices Imports sample CMM (Coordinate Measuring Machines) and probing tools.

Factory Resources Imports sample records used for the Factory Resources classification.

Factory Conveyors Imports sample records used for the Factory Resources classification.

Factory Robots Imports sample records used for the Factory Resources classification.

Factory Weld Guns Imports sample records used for the Factory Resources classification.

Machining Data Library Imports technology data, such as materials and feeds and speeds records, for the Machining Data Library.

  1. Load the sample data for the specified modules by selecting the corresponding item type for each module. The item types you select here must already exist in the database. For a list of existing item types, move the cursor into the dialog box and press F1.You must specify the internal item type. This name can be different from the displayed item type name.
