"Some operations could not be created by CAM Assist." in SolidCAM

On this page

SolidCAM shows this after you send your program from CAM Assist, when it created some of the operations but not all of them.

Some operations could not be created by CAM Assist.

The operations SolidCAM created stay in the part. The ones that failed are missing. SolidCAM doesn't say which ones or how many. Operation creation can't be cancelled, and the operations already created aren't removed when others fail.

Features whose operations failed are left unmachined. Check every feature has an operation before you post.

How to fix it

  1. Click OK.
  2. In the SolidCAM CAM Manager, check which features of the part have no operation.
  3. Add the missing operations by hand in SolidCAM.
  4. If many operations are missing, check SolidCAM's user directory. See No toolpaths appear in SolidCAM after running CAM Assist.

If you fix the user directory and send the program again, SolidCAM adds a new set of operations next to the ones already there. Delete the earlier ones first if you don't want both.

Still seeing it?

If you've done all of the above and still see this message, contact CloudNC support. Include the CAM part, your SolidCAM version and the CAM Assist log.

Logging is off by default. CloudNC or SolidCAM support will tell you how to turn it on. The log is written to C:\Users\Public\Documents\SolidCAM\CamAssist_log.txt.
