About Setups in the CAM Browser

Access:

Ribbon: CAM tab Job panel Setup

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.

Every setup is represented as a separate item in the CAM Browser using the Setup icon . Any operations located under this item use setup settings by default.

To create operations in Inventor CAM, you will need at least one setup. You create a setup manually, by clicking Setup on the Inventor CAM toolbar, or from the CAM Browser pop-up context menu.
Remember: If you do not create a setup manually before adding your first operation, a setup with default parameters is created for you automatically.
