This is very helpful if you assign unique colors to various surfaces to be machined, and/or use color-coding as a means of communication between the design and manufacturing teams. This can also greatly reduce programming time and automate the routine task of selecting the faces required to define multi-surface features. Color-based definition of features is one way for CAMWorks users to speed up the CNC programming time for parts that need customization.Assign a solid model as stock in part mode This feature allows you to use a SOLIDWORKS part file for stock in part mode. Additionally, a SOLIDWORKS...
