In this lesson we'll be setting up a CAM Program and a tool library. After completing this lesson you'll be able to, create a CNC Mill setup and demonstrate how to set up a fixture and stock. Let's carry on with the file from our previous example, and let's navigate from the design workspace to the manufacture workspace. From here now we want to start to create our CAM setup using a CNC Mill. We also want to set up our tool library. I'm going to get started first by setting up my tool library. We can do this by going to Cloud, right-clicking and selecting Import to a Library. You want to navigate to the location of your CAD-CAM specialization Course 2 tools you'll select it and you'll select Open. This'll be placed in the Cloud Library and as we start to plan out our tool paths and create tool paths, we can select that information directly from this library. This contains this spot drill, various sized drills including a quarter 20 tab. It has a Chamfer Mill, a Ballen Mill as well as several different square n mills and a Face Mill. These will all be used throughout various parts in this course. So for right now go ahead and make sure that you upload it either to the Cloud or you can place it in your local library. For local, you can do the same process of selecting Import to a Library. It'll just simply be placed here rather than inside of the Cloud section and your local libraries will not be available to you if you log into Fusion 360 from another computer. Now that we've got that uploaded let's go ahead and create a CAM Setup. From our Setup Drop-down we'll use New Setup. Notice by default it's trying to grab a bounding box over the entire vice. What we need to do first is select the model that we want to machine. So in the Model section we're going to be grabbing our part, and we want to activate fixture, and we're going to select the Vice. Notice that it's grabbing individual pieces. So what we could do is we could Select the Parallels as well as the Jaws of the vice or we could go into the model section and we could select the entire part. I'm just going to go ahead and grab the jaws, the parallels and the rest of the upper portion of the vice that could potentially be an issue when we are machining. If we get a tool all the way down to the bottom of the vice, we are doing something extremely wrong, and we should rethink this program. We should catch that very easily when we simulate a program. However, getting the tool down close to one of the fixed jaws on the vice or the floating jaw could potentially be a little bit harder for us to identify without using these as fixtures. You also notice that there is a fixture attachment section and now this will specify potentially the coordinate system of the fixture. But right now we're dealing with a three-axis machine, a three axis mill, so we don't need to worry about that. We're going be setting the operation type to Milling and for the work coordinate system we're going to be picking a box point, but first we want to set up our stock. Our stock is going to be from solid, and we're going to select the Solid Body that we created in our file. Now that we have that selected we can go back into the setup section and select the box point where we want the orientation of our coordinate system. Notice that the orientation has Z pointing off to the left hand side and that's not correct. So we will need to change that. We can select a coordinate system or we can use the Z-axis plane and X- axis to help us align. For our Z-axis, I'm going to select the top of my part and notice how the orientation changes. For my X- axis I need to select a horizontal edge.The X -axis is pointing the wrong direction for the orientation I want because my fixed jaw is back here. So what I'll need to do is flip the X- axis and notice that now we're back in the same box point. X is pointing the direction I want, positive X to the right-hand side as we standing outside of the mill, Z is pointing up towards the tool, and Y is pointing toward the back of the mill. So everything here is good. I can go back to my stock setup and I'll notice here that it shows my stock in metric values. This is because I haven't changed the units of this file yet. That's okay because we can change it after our setup's created and it really won't matter until we go to post-process because we already are using inch tools that are brought in from an external library. The last thing to do is in the post-processor section. For program number we're going to be using a number that starts with four and we're going to call this 40001. Then the program comment is going to be 3D Pocket, for our machine, WCS in this example, we're going to be using the default G54 coordinate system. So we're going to leave the WCS offset to zero. Again if you hover over any of the boxes or any of the dialog boxes inside a Fusion 360. If you hover long enough you'll get a tool tip that helps you understand what the setting is. There's also a small I in the bottom corner, and if we left-click on that, it'll open up information directly in the Fusion 360 help file on the web. In some cases you might see a Drop down arrow in which you can expand it and get more information as well. In this case let's say Okay. Let's navigate up two Units, and let's change the units of our file two Inch, say Okay. Navigate back to our Home position and then let's save our file.
