What this is: One public English how-to page on softwaretraining.co.za, an AM.CO.ZA training-video project (achievement.co.za directory describes SoftwareTraining as an AM.CO.ZA project of short problem-solving CNC software videos). FabriCAM is AM software (AM.CO.ZA Fabricam CAD&CAM Sheet Metal Cutting Software). This page is Part 2 of the CAD Basics mini-series (Adding a New CAD). This is a part, not an INDEX. Distinct from already-ingested Part 1 training/fabricam-computer-aided-designs.md (source https://softwaretraining.co.za/fabricam-computer-aided-designs; avia prev chrome on this URL prints https://softwaretraining.co.za/fabricam-computer-aided-designs with title "FabriCAM Software About Computer Aided Designs (Part 1) Step by Step Video Tutorial"; already in KB; leftover Part 1 / p26189 HTML not reused; not recrawled), from already-ingested Mini-Series INDEX training/fabricam-cad-basics.md (source https://softwaretraining.co.za/fabricam-cad-basics; body Mini-Series link on this URL is ?p=26188; pretty slug printed in More Articles as https://softwaretraining.co.za/fabricam-cad-basics with title "Understanding the CAD Basics Within the FabriCAM Software (Mini-Series) Video Index"; already in KB; leftover INDEX / p26188 HTML not reused; not recrawled), from unused body next CAD Basics – Open at https://softwaretraining.co.za/?p=26191 (title on this URL: "CAD Basics – Open"; pretty slug not printed on the body link; not invented; avia next chrome prints https://softwaretraining.co.za/fabricam-closing-cad-feature; not fetched), from unused avia next Part 6 https://softwaretraining.co.za/fabricam-closing-cad-feature (title: "FabriCAM Software CAD Basics Closing CAD Feature (Part 6) Step by Step Video Tutorial"; pretty slug printed; not fetched). Do not invent a Part 3 pretty slug.

Named as unused body next CAD Basics – New ?p=26190 on already-ingested Part 1 (pretty slug was already printed there as fabricam-adding-new-cad) and unused body PART 2 on the already-ingested CAD Basics INDEX (pretty slug was not printed on that INDEX body link; leftover GET of pretty slug fabricam-adding-new-cad landed on WordPress id 26190). This does not ingest CAD Basics Part 3 / Parts 4-10 this pass. A Part 3 pretty slug was not printed on this URL and was not invented. fabricam-closing-cad-feature / fabricam-cad-positioning-hotspot-assistants / fabricam-different-cad-positioning-tools / fabricam-basic-cad-shapes were not ingested this pass.
Not FlexiPRINT / PrintEXP / UltraPrint / AcroRIP / InkRIP.
