This page provides an overview of how to use CAM Assist to compute a toolpath strategy for your part.
The following step-by-step instructions assume you’ve already opened a relevant part. If you’ve not yet opened a part, see Getting Started with CAM Assist (Step 2).
For the purpose of illustration, CloudNC’s ‘Demo part 1’ is used in the step-by-step instructions.
Step-by-step instructions
From the CAM Assist ribbon, click CloudNC CAM Assist.
CAM Assist opens within the part’s tab (see the image below).
CAM Assist starts off with the ‘Setup’ tab open.
Note the following within CAM Assist:
‘Setup’ tab is automatically selected.
‘3-Axis’ Machining mode is automatically selected.
'Target setups’ contains two workpieces - this reflects NX’s Operation Navigator.
