Restoring jobs

Jobs are removed from the Job list after they have been machined, but their data is not immediately removed from the CAM computerClosed The computer that is connected to your machine and which runs DentalCAM and DentalCNC.. This enables you to restore machined jobs via the job archive so that they display in the job list again.

      2. The job is re-added to the Job list.
      3. The job is opened in the Machining view.
