Getting the Most Out of this Guideget the most out of this guide, we suggest that you start reading and performing the step-by-step Gettarted tutorial. This tutorial will show you how to produce an NC program by using advanced machining
chniques.
nce you have finished, you should move on to the User Tasks section, which gives more complete inform
out the product's functionalities. The Reference section provides useful complementary information.
e Workbench Description section, which describes the commands that are specific to Advanced Machinin
e Customizing section, which explains how to customize settings, and the Methodology section, which
ovides useful information about recommended work methods, will also certainly prove useful.
ccessing Sample Documentsperform the scenarios, you will be using sample documents contained in the doc/online/amgug_C2/samder. For more information about this, refer to Accessing Sample Documents in the Infrastructure User's

If the tool cannot be positioned at each point on the trajectory, adjust the default interpolationaxes and possibly insert additional interpolation axes until this criteria is satisfied.
You can add an additional axis by clicking one of the interpolation axis symbols in the Strategy page then either selecting an existing point on the part or selecting anywhere on the part.
You can delete an additional axis by right-clicking it and selecting the Remove contextualcommand.You can delete all additional axes by right-clicking one of the interpolation axis symbols in the

14. Click OK to create the operation.
q A default reference tool axis (A) is displayed. You can double click on this axis to modify it.
can also click the tool axis (A) symbol in the Strategy tab page to modify the orientation of reference axis. This axis is not used in the interpolation.
q
If needed, you can select the Macros tab page to specify the operation's transition p(approach and retract motion, for example). See Define Macros of an Operation for an exam
of specifying transition paths on a multi-axis machining operation.
q If needed, you can select the Feeds and Speeds tab page to specify the feedrates an
spindle speeds for the operation.

Part Operations, Manufacturing Programs andMachining Processes
e tasks for creating and managing Part Operations, Manufacturing Programs and Machining Processes arcumented in the NC Manufacturing Infrastructure User's Guide.
Create and Edit a Part Operation: Select the Part Operation icon then specify the entities to bereferenced by the part operation: machine tool, machining axis system, tool change point, part sup, and so on.
Create and Edit a Manufacturing Program: Select the Manufacturing Program icon to add a progr
to the current part operation then insert all necessary program entities: machining operations, tochanges, PP instructions, and so on.
Auto-sequence Operations in a Program(P2 functionality): Verify the administrator's settings
sequencing rules and priorities. If you are authorized, you can adjust these settings before applythe Auto-sequencing to your program.
Generate Transition Paths in a Program(P2 functionality): Automatically creates all necessary
transition paths and machine rotations in the program according to the kinematics of the machintool assigned to the Part Operation and user-defined transition planes.
Create a Machining Process(P2 functionality): Select the Machining Process icon to create a
machining process, which can then be stored in a catalog.
Apply a Machining Process(P2 functionality): Select the Open Catalog icon to access the
machining process to be applied to selected geometry.
