About Operations
An operation is a series of steps such as Measure, Construct, and Verify, performed with a workcell and using a Machine coordinate system.
 
* You have to set up an operation before you can start creating the steps.
An operation is an assembly feature that contains the following information:
Name
Workcell to be used
Machine coordinate system for DMIS program
Comments (optional)
A set of parameters (optional)
FROM and HOME points (optional)
A retract plane
When the steps are created, they contain a reference to the current operation name. Operation setting is modal, that is, once an operation is created, it stays current until another operation is created or activated.
