Cam data worksheets

Two worksheets are defined in the Cam (Imperial).sta and Cam (Metric).sta templates:

Cam Data: lists cam data, such as rotation angle, follower displacement, velocity, and acceleration

Cam Properties: lists the cam parameters from the Object Info palette

The worksheets are accessed by selecting them from the Window > Worksheets menu or from the Resource Manager. The Cam Properties worksheet updates when the Define Cam Profile dialog box is exited (see Defining the cam profile). The Cam Data worksheet updates when the cam properties are changed. The worksheets can be placed on the drawing as graphic objects, if desired (see Placer un tableau dans le dessin).

To prevent slow performance, leave the Cam Data worksheet closed when changing cam properties.
