You can also right-click in an empty portion of the graphics window to display the Inventor marking menu and then select the appropriate 2D Toolpath Strategy. In this example lets pick CAM tab 2D Milling panel 2D Pocket. For a description of the individual machining strategies, please refer to the Inventor CAM Help topics: 2D Machining Strategies and 3D Machining Strategies.Īfter creating your Setup, you can select a Toolpath Strategy by clicking the appropriate icon from the command ribbon. The type of toolpath required naturally depends on the geometry of your part. The G28 Home code on the Fanuc is a wonderful piece of ingenuity, that sends the tool to Machine Home coordinates, by way of optional Part coordinate first.

To create your first machining operation, simply select any of the toolpath strategies from the CAM toolbar. The Fanuc Generic code used in InventorCAM ends each operation with a safe-z height, and then the tool change calls a home code before doing anything else (see the image below). Lyndex-Nikken engineers will help you to determine the best live tool for your application. This replaces the Autodesk Inventor Model Browser.

The CAM Browser becomes active once a part or assembly file is loaded and a toolpath strategy is selected from the CAM ribbon.


It lets you view and modify the machining strategies associated with the current part. The CAM Browser is docked on the left side.
