Workpiece
Introduction
This topic will explain the Workpiece as it appears in the CAM Tree, and will provide links to related topics.
The Workpiece
The Workpiece item in the CAM Tree allows you to assign the geometry that displays in the simulation window as the workpiece, which is the intended part. When you assign a workpiece, only the assigned geometry is passed to simulation regardless of how many models are visible in the graphics area. The workpiece can be assigned during the job setup or by using the CAM Tree. The workpiece visibility can be toggled in the simulation with the Workpiece option. For information on how to adjust the visibility, see the Visibility section of the simulation tab.
Workpiece - Right-click to access a shortcut menu with the following commands:
- Re/Select - enables selection mode for you to assign workpiece geometry or to modify the current assignment. After assigning or modifying the selection, click OK.
- Remove - eliminates the geometry assignment for the workpiece. If you do not assign workpiece geometry, all visible models in the workspace are passed to simulation.
