Setup Section

The primary area of the Setup section of the action bar provides commands for setting up your machining app.

This page discusses:



Mount and Import Resources
Mounts and imports resources such as manufacturing products, accessories, adaptors and tools.




Import Cutting Tools from Database
See Flyout for Composing Resources.


Resource Creation
Creates a resource such as a tool, tool holder, or tool assemblies.
See Using Tools and Tool Assemblies.


Part Operation
Creates an object linking all the actions to machine a part.
See Creating a Part Operation.


Synchronize Data with Planning
Synchronizes data with planning to generate or update a manufacturing product.
See Synchronizing with Planning Data.


Rough Stock
Creates a block of raw material to be machined to produce the part.
See Creating a Rough Stock.


New Simulation State
See Flyout for Managing Resource States.

Flyout for Composing Resources



Import Cutting Tools from Database
Imports existing tool and tool assemblies from the database.
See Importing Machines and Tool Assemblies.


Replace Resources
Replaces resources from the database, such as machines or tools.
See Replacing Imported Tool Resources or Machines.


Insert Capable Resources
Inserts resources such as machines and accessories, defined in the planning.
See Insert Capable Resources.

Flyout for Managing Resource States



New Simulation State
Creates a simulation state. A state is a snapshot of the positions of the contents.
See Creating a Simulation State.
See Active Simulation Objects, Contexts, and Simulation States.


Import Reference Status
Imports existing simulation states into the current context.
From the tree, select the objects whose states you want to import. The imported states are then available in the correct context.
