You select the first operation you wish to perform on the workpiece by clicking the appropriate icon from the command ribbon. For more information about creating a setup, see the Help topic: If you do not create a setup manually before adding your first operation, a setup with default parameters is created for you automatically. A setup defines a number of general properties for a set of machining operations - including the Work Coordinate System (WCS), the stock geometry, fixtures, and the machining surfaces. Normally a machining operation, like pocketing, is started by creating a For a description of the individual machining strategies, please refer to theĢD Pocket strategy which is used to remove the interior cavity of a part. The type of toolpath required naturally depends on the geometry of your part. To create your first machining operation, simply select any of the toolpath strategies from the CAM toolbar. Once a part or assembly file is loaded and a strategy selected from the CAM ribbon, theĬAM Browser becomes active replacing the familiar InventorĬAM Browser lets you view and modify all machining-related data in the current part or assembly.
