Now, we convert our set-up parameters into geometry that will guide the tool. To generate toolpaths, click Generate Toolpath in the CAM command manager or tight-mouse on Mill Part Setup1 and select Generate Toolpath.
Operations shown in blue will not have toolpaths generated as the material to be removed by this operation has been removed by the previous operation. Only operations shown in black will have toolpaths.
Hovering over each operation will display the toolpath for that operation.
Next, we will simulate toolpaths. SOLIDWORKS CAM Standard Milling Setup 8/9: Simulate Toolpaths
