Features in Containment
Containment Definition Form
(CAM Level)
Use the Features in Containment Form shown below to select CAM features from the active CAM plan and assign them as a containment definition for the active 2-1/2 Axis, 3 Axis or Rough Milling operations. The features selected will be listed in the Features list of the Containment Definition Form. See Defining Machining Regions for additional information.
The clearance for 2-1/2 Axis containment surfaces will only be
determined by their feature offset.
This form shows two lists. The left list displays the features
which are available for containment in this Plan. The list on the right
displays the list of features which are already selected for containment
in this operation.

Add --> - Adds the selected feature to the In Opdef list.
In Opdef - Features already selected for containment in this operation.
<-- Remove - Removes the selected feature from the Opdef list.
Activate - Activates the feature selected - that is, it activates the feature listed in the text field beside the activate button. In activating that feature, the CAM Feature Group Manager Form is displayed and the view changes to CAM Component mode. This allows you to inspect and perhaps modify that feature group.
