Isolating Geometry Links

You can create a machining template by disconnecting all the geometrical links and setup assemblies, removing NC files containers, removing tool path of Machining Operations (except for APT Import), and removing video results. This helps to reuse the Machining Cell structure to program the machining of a new design by keeping the sequence of Machining Operations and the parameter values previously used.
