Name Description
Create Setups From Hole Recognition API Sample

This sample script demonstrates how to create a correctly oriented setup using Hole Recognition functionality.

The Fusion Manufacturing Extension is required for Hole Recognition.

The script starts by opening a sample model from the CAM Samples folder via its URN. The model comprises a 3 way coupling containing holes in various orientations and mounted on a fixture. A reference setup is created for the model using a simple stock mode and offsets. The Hole Recognition feature of the Fusion Manufacturing Extension creates 5 hole groups containing 11 holes between them. For each unique hole group vector captured, a new setup is created and its orientation transformed to match the vector.
Create CAM Operation From Template API Sample Demonstrates adding a new toolpath into the document using an existing CAM template. You can view the template here, although it will be loaded automatically. Run the sample script within any Fusion project containing at least one setup. A new facing operation will be created at the end of each setup discovered.
