Hello everyone

I want to get my head around using SolidCAM's Automatic Feature Recognition & Machining (aka AFRM) particularly in situations where a hole (a) enters a face at an angle a (b) has four different diameters needing about 7 tools to machine it accurately. Does anyone out there have any experience with AFRM that they are willing to share? From what I have seen so far, AFRM leans heavily on the technology contained in Machine Processes but I am wondering how well the 'automatic' bit of feature recognition actually works in practice. Another thing I am interested in is how can you set AFRM to select a formtool when a particular set of conditions are found.

Thanks in advance

Bob
