Adding rotary parts to a quote

How to upload Rotary parts for quoting

Setup required

Adding rotary parts to a quote is easy. However, there is setup involved before you can assign a material and calculate a price.

Different materials need to be setup in order to assign them to the part, and those materials are cut with different machines which runs on different speeds and rules.

See the information in our tube cutting section for how to setup your ToolBox account to quote for tube:

• Creating your Rotary process

• Adding & editing rate tables for Rotary

• Creating a new material for Rotary

• Adding and editing material records

Extruded parts cannot be quoted at this time

See our article on What Rotary parts will ToolBox work with? to see what kinds of parts can currently be quoted in the tube cutting module, and what kinds of parts won't be accepted.

ToolBox allows you to upload and view Rotary parts. It then identifies the material components in the model.

To add a Rotary part:

1. Create a new quote or open an existing one.

2. Click the button on the top right-hand side of the quoting window:

Select Add Rotary Part

Selecting this opens up the Rotary parts screen:
