SolidCAM fixtures

A look at how SolidCam handles fixtures. I wasted a lot of time before figuring out you define the fixtures in the "setup" line item, not in the "Fixtures" line item. I also wasted four hours since when I defined the first Coordsys coordinate system, I did not check and see that SolidCAM had selected both the part and a fixture as the "Target". Be sure to click where that third green arrow is next to "Target" and then you can un-select the fixtures. Just because the green check-mark means is has a target does not mean it is the right target. There was also a bug in the stock definition dialogs that I show, nothing major. I still struggle with all the icons with no labels, but if you use SolidCAM often enough, this is less of a problem. Another GUI problem is that so many dialogs look different. Once again, not serious for the everyday user, but a problem for an intermittent prototype guy like myself. The assembly file as pack-and-go and the disjoint part file are on my website: http://www.rako.com/Media/Suffering-w...
