Setup Entity 2026

I really like the concept behind the Setups entity in PowerMill, but we haven't fully adopted it yet in our workflow.

One thing that’s holding us back is how clamps are handled.

From what I understand, you can define which clamps belong to a specific setup, and when you activate that setup, it appears to show the correct clamps visually.

But here's the issue: when running NC Verify or  Simulation, it still collision checks against clamps that aren't active (unchecked). That kind of defeats the purpose, doesn’t it?

Am I missing something? Is there a way to make PowerMill respect  the active Setup clamps only during simulation and NcVerify? Same goes for reference Models
