Different types of CACHE? NC/Machining .CATProcess
LOCAL CACHE: – A read or writes directory located locally on your machine & used to store CGR files. The
first time a component is inserted it is tessellated. This means that the corresponding CGR file is computed & Analysis/GSA .CATAnalysis
saved in the local cache as well as displayed in the document window. The next time this components is required,
the CGR file which already exists (& not the original document) is automatically loaded from the local CACHE. Catalog Editor .Catalog
The user is normally responsible for the local cache.
Material .CAT Material
RELEASED CACHE: - A read only cache that can be located any where on your network, several directories
can be defined for RELEASED CACHE. If a CGR file cannot be found in the local CACHE, the software
browses the released cache directories in their listed order to see if the CGR file is located in any of them. If Expand the following:
the CGR file is still not found, the component is tessellated & the resulting CGR file is saved in the local
CACHE. The site „administrator‟ is normally responsible for the released CACHE. The default maximum Initial Graphics Exchange Specification
CACHE size is 500MB. When the maximum size is exceeded, the automatic deletion of CGR files (on first IGES
in/first out basis) is triggered.
