After you specify a machine and add programming to your process definition in FactoryLogix Office, you're ready to edit the machine-specific properties and make any necessary changes.
Note:
Editing machine properties settings is a task you typically do one time and only modify when necessary.
Under Line Programming in the Process tree, select Yamaha under the operation you assigned it to previously (Auto Place, for example).
In the Machine List window to the right of the Process tree, select the Edit Properties button.
