Abstract
This paper discusses the vws_cadm user interface for the Vertical Workstation (VWS) of the Automated Manufacturing Research Facility (AMRF) at the National Bureau of Standards. The descriptions pertain to the system in use during the summer of 1987. The vws_cadm user interface provides a user-friendly means of using three of the major VWS modules and a variety of input and output capabilities of the VWS. There are two appendices to this paper. The first is a users manual for vws_cadm and the second is a users manual for the VWS Part Design Editor.
