bigbuck, your exactly right. The SolidWorks/CAMWorks solution works well for smaller operations were there are very few people designing and programming parts, sometimes even the same person. It is very efficient to move a hole, change a profile and repost the machine code. But as an...

Thank you everyone for their suggestions. I am going to propose a change in the file/folder permissions for the CNC department so Engineering can maintain control of the designs. I will then propose the following solutions to CNC for working with the models; 1. Import the models as a...

I really like StefanHamminga idea of DRM. That would be the ideal solutions. CNC wants to be able to store Tooling, Feeds and Speed Information, and Toolpath information within the SolidWorks model. By doing this they do not have to reapply the machining knowledge each time a revision is...

After I release a design to manufacturing my design goes to our CNC programmers. Since they use CAMWorks they have read/write permissions to the released design. In doing their work they make several changes to the files that make it very difficult to revise the design. How do others handle...

I wish SolidWorks would allow us to rotate a part when exploding an assembly. This could be used to represent open doors. I sent in an enhancement request several years ago for this functionality.
