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 3 of the CAD Basics mini-series (Opening a File for the CAD Feature). This is a part, not an INDEX. Distinct from already-ingested Part 2 training/fabricam-adding-new-cad.md (source https://softwaretraining.co.za/fabricam-adding-new-cad; body previous on this URL is https://softwaretraining.co.za/?p=26190 with title "CAD Basics – New"; pretty slug not printed on that body link; already in KB; dest 26315 not touched; leftover Part 2 / p26190 HTML not reused; not recrawled), from already-ingested Part 1 training/fabricam-computer-aided-designs.md (source https://softwaretraining.co.za/fabricam-computer-aided-designs; pretty slug not printed on this URL; 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 – Save at https://softwaretraining.co.za/?p=26192 (title on this URL: "CAD Basics – Save"; pretty slug not printed on the body link; not invented; not fetched), from unused avia prev 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), from unused avia next CAM Part 4 https://softwaretraining.co.za/fabricam-saving-cam-file (title: "FabriCAM Software CAM Basics Saving a CAM File (Part 4) Step by Step Video Tutorial"; pretty slug printed; not fetched).

Named as unused body next CAD Basics – Open ?p=26191 on already-ingested Part 2 (pretty slug was not printed on that Part 2 body link) and unused body PART 3 on the already-ingested CAD Basics INDEX (pretty slug was not printed on that INDEX body link; leftover GET of ?p=26191 landed on WordPress id 26191).
