Best Practice for Updating CAM Operations Between Files

Modified on Thu, 28 May, 2020 at 11:01 PM

If you need to update a CAM Op that's from another setup or file but doesn't want to lose your selections/tabs/etc, you can for use the process below for updating Op settings between Fusion files or Setups.

If updating Op inside same file you can skip to #3


  1. Copy the Op
  2. Paste in new file or setup
  3. Then select both Ops and right-click to do a Compare
  4. Choose "Different" in the dropdown filter
  5. Update the items you want to the existing Op
  6. Delete pasted Op
The benefit of doing it this way versus a straight copy/paste is it will not remove previous selections or file specific things but simply updates the settings.
