CZ
The integration of the Autodesk HSM CAM system into Inventor / SolidWorks is so successful that the user not only moves within one system, but the transitions between individual modes (sketch/draft, model, technology, etc.) are completely natural. It is advantageous to generate machining operations not only for a part but also for an assembly. This brings many advantages, from the definition of the semi-finished product, holders, table, etc. during machining, to the associativity of operations with the machined geometry created or imported in CAD. Generating the toolpath in an assembly brings undeniable advantages in that the model file itself is not affected by the operations, so it is still just a CAD model without technology.
