Defining operation templates

The operation template dialog box contains the same fields you can find in the SolidCAM operation dialog box.

You can now fill the fields of the operation template in the same way as if you define a conventional operation. Note that some fields in the operation templates are marked with the button. These fields are parametric. In these fields, you can enter the following data:

• Variable
• Expression
• Value

To edit this parametric field, you can use the parametric field menu by clicking the button.

If you entered incorrect data in the parametric field (unacceptable type of variable, error in expression, etc.), SolidCAM marks this parametric field with the button.

In the operation template, the definition of the Geometry and the Tool is mandatory.
