To Create CAM Browser Folders

Access:

Ribbon: CAM tab Job panel Folder

Unlike setups, folders do not affect the operations that they contain, but are useful for grouping operations. For example, a common scenario is to create separate folders for roughing, semi-finishing, and finishing operations.

A 3D part with folders for each group of operations. An open folder displays the operations within it.

You can create a new folder in two ways:

1. Select a number of operations, holding either the Shift or Ctrl keys while clicking on them. Then right-click one of them and choose Add to New Folder from the pop-up context menu.
2. On the ribbon, click CAM tab Job panel Folder . You can then add or move operations to the new folder.

When using setups or folders, new operations are, by default, added to the newest folder or setup. If you want to add operations to a different folder or setup, you can make that folder the default folder by right-clicking on it and choosing Default Folder. The default folder is denoted by a check mark to the left of the folder icon.

If you just want to add an operation to a specific folder quickly, you can do so without making it the default folder first. Simply create the operation by right-clicking on a specific folder and choose New Operation. This will add the new operation(s) to the focused folder rather than the default folder.
