Load Knowledge Base

A Knowledge Base file must be created before you can Load it.  See Create a Knowledge Base for information about creating one.  Once created, you can Load the Knowledge Base and re-use it in any other part file that may be appropriate.  You can Load one or more Knowledge Base files into the currently active part.  When a Knowledge Base is loaded, its operations are automatically appended to the existing list of machining operations shown in the K-Bases tab of the Machining Objects Browser.

A Knowledge Base DOES NOT have associated toolpaths. It contains the Knowledge parameters and the Geometry Selection Rules for machining.  Once loaded, you then Drag & Drop operations from the Knowledge Base from the K-Bases tab into your Setup in the Machining Browser.  If Geometry Selection Rules have been set in the Knowledge Base, they are applied automatically when the toolpath operations in your Setup are Generated.

You can load a Knowledge Base either from the Machining Browser or the K-Bases tab of the Machining Objects Browser.  Both methods are shown below:
