Waterjet configuration creation
Represent the geometry intended for cutting without damaging the normal design configuration. Work on a copy first. Record application version, units and active document/configuration. Names below identify the catalogued workflow; they do not claim a particular button layout or verified implementation.

TECHNICAL NOTES///
Represent the geometry intended for cutting without damaging the normal design configuration.
GOALRun the first test described in this guide and record the result for waterjet configuration creation.
PREPARATION / NOTES
Work on a copy first. Record application version, units and active document/configuration. Names below identify the catalogued workflow; they do not claim a particular button layout or verified implementation.
EQUIPMENT
- CAD / automation tool
- Representative test model
- Measurement or inspection method
STEPS
- Define which features belong in the waterjet state and which are later machining or forming operations.
- Create or update a named configuration using explicit suppression rules.
- Rebuild and verify the cutting outline, holes and stock thickness.
- Export from that configuration and restore the user’s prior active state if promised by the workflow.
TROUBLESHOOTING
- Do not suppress by a fragile feature-name guess alone. A suppressed chamfer may change an edge reference used later.
THINGS TO WATCH FOR
Do not suppress by a fragile feature-name guess alone. A suppressed chamfer may change an edge reference used later.
RESULTThe cut configuration matches the intended blank while the original design configuration is unchanged.
DEVELOPMENT HISTORY///
Imported as an independent manifest record; public copy keeps uncertainty visible.
SPECIFICATION///
RELEASED MATERIAL///
The cut configuration matches the intended blank while the original design configuration is unchanged.
The record keeps what is known at this revision. Unfinished tests stay unfinished here.
