Samples

Name Description
CAM Parameter Modification API Sample

Demonstrates changing parameters of existing toolpaths.

Before running: Use a design with CAM data as required by the script. Many CAM samples switch to the MANUFACTURE workspace and may need an existing setup or manufacturing model.
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.
