Adding an operation
This command enables you to add a new operation to your CAM-Part. In SolidCAM, an operation is a single machining step. Normally you manufacture a workpiece using several machining steps and technologies. For each of these steps you can define a separate operation. An operation can be very complex, but always uses one tool, one major geometry and executes one machining type, e.g. turning, drilling or grooving.
To add a Turning operation to your CAM-Part, do the following:
In the CAM Manager, right-click the Operations header.
Choose the type of operation you want to define from the Add Turning Operation submenu.
The operation is added in the end of the operations list.
