Collaboration and CAM integration > Using NX CAM Integration

Open NX CAM Integration

Once you create operations in Part Planner, you can open NX Manufacturing to create the NX operations required to machine the part.

Procedure

In the Attachments view in Part Planner, with the root process selected, double-click the geometry part to open it in NX.
In NX, start Manufacturing. The Machining Environment dialog box is displayed.
Select cam_part_planner_mrl.dat. The Setup Selection dialog box opens showing the product containing the process you created to manufacture this part. All operations of MENCMachining type (or any custom NX CAM Integration type) are visible under this process, as follows:

Select a planning operation (for example, OP30 or OP50). The Library Class Selection dialog box displays the available CAM setup templates. These templates contain the different setup types that are available by default in Manufacturing, such as operation types, tool types and method types.
Select a setup template that you created in step 1.The information in the selected setup template is copied into your new CAM part, thus initializing it.
It may be necessary to position a machine or fixture if you added them to the Teamcenter operation. If you added any resources in Teamcenter, you now see them in NX.

You are now ready to create NC operations.
