I remember when i first got SolidCAM 08 i still had acad, inventor and SW on my computer. When i opened Acad to do something with a dxf i had a SolidCAM menu at the top. I never tried to machine anything from there but i believe when you open solidcam you can use the geometry in ACAD. So the feature tree is a stand alone floating window but its still running with acad.
www solidcam com 31 2 3 1 Drag & Drop Templates One of the most intuitive and fastest ways of programming a part is to use SolidCAMs Drag & Drop templates These are ready-made templates that you can drag directly onto surfaces and holes The templates can be created by the user directly from existing jobs and can be flexibly adapted at any time in a clearly structured database Drag & Drop is available in a wide span of SolidCAMs operations including 2,5D, iMachining, HSS, HSM etc Grab operation template from template directory Drag the template to the face to be machined A new Operation is added to the CAM Manager operation tree and the toolpath will be calculated The new "Drag to Surface" function will create operations for all holes with the same coordinate system alignments.
