Hi,
I'm planning to make a lot of very similar parts with small variations on each one- think personalized name plates with all the same dimensions/art but different names on each one.
Is there any way to set up a job/operations so that certain operations are only used in certain fixtures? Or do you know another way I could make a lot of parts with small variations like that?
Thanks!

Re: Variations Between Fixtures
Fixtures are specified at the job level. If you want different sets of operations per fixture, you should be creating multiple jobs.

Is it possible that what is being asked for is the ability to create a library of stored fixture setups?freecader2 wrote: ↑Sat Nov 13, 2021 4:47 pm ... with all the same dimensions/art but different names on each one. ...(snip)
If such were available, the user could be offered to use one of two options:
- "new", which would initiate the creation step, or
- "presets", which would potentially offer a preview image including a visible LCS for the object placement (maybe even user-colored positionning faces), while creating the new job.
