However, for users who already have CAMWorks installed, you will need to be intentional on what “Add-Ins” you want currently active.
By doing this:
Will result in this:
1. Navigate your mouse to the Options drop-down menu (triangle next to the gearwheel icon) > Select Add-Ins…
2. Alternatively, you can access the Add-Ins dialog manager as shown below.
At the Add-Ins dialog manager (previously shown in page 1), clear all check boxes under “Active Add-Ins” and “Start Up” columns for all related CAM products > Select OK.
3. Close and restart SOLIDWORKS. This will clear any conflicting issues between CAMWorks and SOLIDWORKS CAM.
4. Access the Add-Ins dialog manager once again and select the check box for the CAM product of choice > Select OK.
At this point, you should be able to freely generate programs for your CNC machines. As always, feel free to contact our Technical Support Team support@goengineer.com if you have any additional questions.
