Displaying CAM data in the NX Teamcenter Navigator

In NX, you can use the Teamcenter Navigator to locate documents stored with the CAM part in the Teamcenter database. For example, you can open the shop floor documentation. The resulting NC programs are organized under the Manufacturing Activities section. In this section, you can identify the program groups that you selected for postprocessing. The related NC tape file and optionally the CLS file is managed in this section. The manufacturing data includes the CAM setup showing the design part to be machined together with the fixture and clamping devices. Additionally, you can identify the resource list including the selected machine and the list of tools used for this CAM part. The NC programmer can always look at this data inside NX without the need to search in Teamcenter.

Note

The NX Teamcenter Navigator is available with NX 6 and later. You must activate the different panes in the NX Customer Defaults. To do so, choose File→Utilities→Customer Defaults, and then choose Teamcenter Integration for NX→General→Teamcenter Navigator and select the panes you want to display.
