Setup

i. To begin using the OVVO connection system, first you must update the tooling details in Alphacam to suit
the tooling names or numbers within your machine setup.
This tooling has already been created for the fittings and can be accessed in the tooling library however this
must be then changed to suit your tool numbers and your machine feeds and speeds etc.
ii. Once the tooling has been updated the machining style must also be updated with the new tool data.
Open the machine style (OVVO clips) within Alphacam and update all three operations.
iii. Open the OVVO clip drawings, in \LICOMDIR\ Furniture Fittings\OVVO clips. Update all the drawings with the
new machining style.
