The creation process for tools, symbols, machine, etc. has become more fluid with the interactive system of axes.

• The arrow - inverts the selected axis orientation

• The letter - allows the repositioning of the selected axis to a different direction

• The origin - allows to relocate the system of axes to another origin.

Select the “Clamping / Toolholders” module in the Homepage.

Click the GO button

Select the file to import

Select the import option to be applied to the solid.

Click “Apply”

The axis system can also be imported from solid CAD files by activating the Wireframe Import option.

This feature is particularly useful for creating holders by importing STEP files from databases such as Sandvik or Iscar. It allows the recovery of the axis systems for positioning inserts, as illustrated for the turning tool in the image on the right.

Click on the tab “Creation” then “Tool Holders” menu

Click the command to create system of axis

Select the tool to define the position of system of axis

Select the faces to orient Z and X axes and point to define the system of axis.

The system of axis referenced 0 define the point that will mounted on the previous element.

The previous element can be a tool support or another tool holder component.

The center of a circle can be selected by pressing CTRL + SHIFT and then clicking on the arc edge.

Then validate.

Do the same command to create the system of axis 1. It will be the mounted position for the tool or next element.

Repeat the same command to create the system of axis 2. This one also will be the mounted position for another tool or next element.

Save the file in the user’s symbol folder for use in GO2cam.
