As a starting point for the machine set-up definition, Guideline can use workpieces which placement seats have been defined in another clamp environment or, alternatively, imported 3d models having placement seats already modeled in a 3D CAD system: in this last case, the software recognizes them automatically, based on their geometry.

There are two ways to show the available FCS seats:

  1. Turn off the projected spheres using "Activate/Deactivate Projected Spheres"


  1. Select the workpiece


In both cases, seats are recognized based on the clamp size selected: when "Finish" is set, only finish-size seats are available for selection and have cones applied. Same for "Rough" size.
