Alternate long pretty slug fabricam-software-about-computer-aided-designs-part-1-step-by-step-video-tutorial also printed on this URL (query_vars name; not invented; not fetched). Not WordPress id 26188 and not slug fabricam-cad-basics. Same page as unused body PART 1 ?p=26189 named on already-ingested CAD Basics INDEX (pretty slug was not printed on that INDEX body link; avia next pretty slug was already printed there as fabricam-computer-aided-designs; not invented).
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 1 of the CAD Basics mini-series (About Computer Aided Designs). This is a part, not an INDEX. Distinct 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 avia prev 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 – New at https://softwaretraining.co.za/?p=26190 (title on this URL: "CAD Basics – New"; pretty slug not printed on the body link; not invented; avia next chrome prints https://softwaretraining.co.za/fabricam-adding-new-cad; not fetched), from unused avia next Part 2 https://softwaretraining.co.za/fabricam-adding-new-cad (title: "FabriCAM Software CAD Basics Adding a New CAD (Part 2) Step by Step Video Tutorial"; pretty slug printed; not fetched), from unused More Articles FabriCAM / TruCUT / FlexiSTARTER INDEX pages printed on this URL (cited not fetched), from unused You-might-also-like other FabriCAM / PrintUP pages printed on this URL (cited not fetched), from unused More Training Videos long pretty slugs printed on this URL (cited not fetched except as already in KB), from already-ingested ICC Parts training/inkrip-icc-profiles-about.md / training/inkrip-color-manager-icc-profiles.md and transform Parts training/inkrip-stacking-orders.md / training/inkrip-align-design-elements.md (More Training Videos; already in KB; not recrawled), from already-ingested sidebar ICC INDEX training/inkrip-icc-profiles-manager.md (already in KB; not recrawled), from already-ingested Import Tab INDEX + Parts 1-3, from already-ingested Secondary CAM Toolbar Practicals INDEX + Parts 1-3, from already-ingested Design Practices INDEX + Parts 1-5, from already-ingested Before Starting INDEX + Parts 1-2, from already-ingested Getting Started INDEX + Parts 1-5, from already-ingested Introduction INDEX + Parts 1-7, from already-ingested Job Manager INDEX + Parts 1-3, from already-ingested transform INDEX + Parts 1-8, from already-ingested toolbar INDEX + Parts 1-8, from already-ingested ICC INDEX + Parts 1-11, from already-ingested printer-drivers INDEX + Parts 1-8, from category summary training/fabricam-training.md (source https://softwaretraining.co.za/training-videos/plasma-cutter/fabricam), and from youtube/fabricam-howtos.md. Named as unused body PART 1 ?p=26189 on the already-ingested CAD Basics INDEX (pretty slug was not printed on that INDEX body link; leftover GET of pretty slug fabricam-computer-aided-designs landed on WordPress id 26189). This does not ingest CAD Basics Part 2 / later parts this pass. fabricam-adding-new-cad / fabricam-cad-dimension-guides / fabricam-cad-features / fabricam-basic-cad-shapes were not ingested this pass.
Not FlexiPRINT / PrintEXP / UltraPrint / AcroRIP / InkRIP. Distinct: InkRIP (AM software, different RIP programme; already-ingested ICC Parts / transform Parts / sidebar ICC INDEX are More Training Videos / sidebar chrome on this URL, not this FabriCAM how-to, and were not recrawled), PrintEXP (AM software, different RIP / control programme; not this FabriCAM how-to and not fetched), UltraPrint (not AM software), AcroRIP, WellPrintEXP (stored/OEM), FlexiPRINT / FlexiSTARTER (SAi third-party stored). Sidebar / category chrome on this URL names FlexiPRINT / other RIP / vinyl / laser training-video folders; those are different pages, not this how-to, and were not fetched. You-might-also-like / More Articles also name FlexiSTARTER / TruCUT / other FabriCAM / PrintUP / InkRIP pages (not this how-to; not fetched except as already in KB). Sidebar chrome on this URL also names buythis.co.za; buythis was not crawled. Sidebar chrome also names cncu.co.za; cncu was not crawled. Cover chrome names fabricam.co.za; fabricam.co.za was not crawled. Share-on-WhatsApp / share-by-mail are page chrome only; email / WhatsApp were not crawled. YouTube channel links are present in page chrome; YouTube was not crawled. More Articles chrome also names prevision.co.za / filaments.co.za; those hosts were not crawled.
