Style Library[edit]
CamBam has a concept of Style Libraries, a way to save standard recipes. The CamBam on the hackerspace machines have a 'K40 Laser Cutter' library which contains standard recipes. To use, click on the "Machine" or "Part", and under "Style Library" select the "K40 Laser Cutter".
Now, under a particular operation, select the right Style. Normally for engraving, I first have a *pocket* operation, followed by a *profile* operation to clean up the edges. Select the right style, and you'll be good to go!
