Setups in the Browser reference

Define a number of general properties for a set of machining operations.

Manufacture > Setup > New Setup setup icon

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 Browser using the Setup icon setup icon. Any operations located under this item use setup settings by default.

To create operations, you will need at least one setup. From the Manufacture toolbar, select Setup > New Setup setup icon to create a setup manually.

Related: If you do not create a setup manually before adding your first operation, a setup with default parameters is created for you automatically.
