When you are programming parts for your laser cutter, you can assign its own TechDB with its own respective settings specific to the laser. So each CNC machine can have its own respective TechDB.įor example, say you have a laser cutter and a vertical mill in your shop. But you can only assign one database as the active database to the application.

This new tab lets you specify multiple technology database source files. In Settings, inside the SOLIDWORK CAM 2022 Technology Database, there is a new Manage Databases tab which use to be named Link Database tab. You can manage multiple technology databases in the Manage Database tab. The Tool Select Filter dialog box lets you enter text to filter for mill and turn tools and assemblies when you are editing the tools while you are editing a SOLIDWORKS CAM operation. New in SOLIDWORKS CAM 2022, you can assign a color to display Toolpath H idden Moves in the graphics area from the Display tab under SOLIDWORKS CAM Options.įilter for Mill and Turn Tools and Assemblies with Text New under SOLIDWORKS CAM Options, you can apply color settings for Toolpath End Points under the Display tab. Customize Color Settings for Toolpath End Points All other enhancements I mention going forward are included in both SOLIDWORKS CAM Standard and SOLIDWORKS CAM Pro. NOTE: The new assembly support for turning is an enhancement specifically for SOLIDWORKS CAM Pro 2022. An example is shown below for a part being programmed in a SOLIDWORKS assembly for 2 Axis turning. Now in SOLIDWORKS CAM Professional 2022, programming a turn part in assembly mode inside SOLIDWORKS for a 2 axis lathe is now supported.

SOLIDWORKS CAM Professional has always supported programming in SOLIDWORKS assembly mode for milling. Assembly Support for Turn – SOLIDWORKS CAM Pro 2022

There are quite a few CAM updates with SOLIDWORKS 2022.
