Adding resource items to NX CAM

Using Active Workspace, you can add a Manufacturing Resource Library (MRL) object to NX CAM.

You add resources and devices to an existing NX CAM assembly by selecting the object in MRL and dragging it to NX CAM.

You can select one or more MRL resources to add to an NX assembly. The following tool structure or Part Manufacturing object types that can be selected and dragged to NX include:

• (1) Resource, such as a Fixture or Device

• (2) Tool

• (3) Machine

When you select a resource that is not a tool or a machine and drag it to an opened NX assembly, the Retrieve as Device dialog box is displayed.

• Retrieve Device adds the resource as a device to the NX CAM Operation Navigation tree.

• Add Component adds the resource as a component to the NX CAM Assembly Navigation tree.

Note

When two or more devices are added to NX, the Retrieve as Device dialog box is displayed for each object.

MRL resources can be added to the NX CAM assembly from the following MRL locations:

• Manufacturing Resource Library.

• Folders.

• Global search.

• MRL Saved Searches.

• Home.

• Revisions when opened in Active Workspace.

• Part Manufacturing, for NC Setups when opened in Active Workspace, such as NC Machining Operation Item Revisions.
