      <p class="para_topic">It is possible to speed up the preparation of a machining session by loading a template part. Create this template by performing &nbsp;the first three steps of a CAM setup (loading the machine, mounting parts and fixtures and adding these fixtures to the kinematics model) and saving them as a template part. The workpieces are saved in this template as dummy parts which are flagged as such (&quot;target&quot;) in the assembly component attributes. You have to flag the machine and the fixtures as resource. If you use such a setup template in the CAM part, the dummy parts are automatically replaced by the actual part to be machined and the system automatically adapts the fixture mating conditions. </p>
