![ability to use multiple tech database](https://ddk3ap9k3zpti.cloudfront.net/wp-content/uploads/ability-to-use-multiple-tech-database.png)
Ability to use multiple technology databases
- New capability to use multiple TechDBs
- Customize each TechDB for specific machine types or manufacturing applications
- Create a selectable list of available TechDBs
- Easily select the TechDB using CAMWorks options
Z-level probing support for non-planar surfaces
- Ability to probe points on a surface and select non-planar surfaces during Z axis probing operations
- By default, the highest point on the surface will be selected
- Multiple cycles can be created to probe at various points along the surface in milling, turning or mill/turn parts

![option for filtre](https://ddk3ap9k3zpti.cloudfront.net/wp-content/uploads/option-for-filtre.png)
Option for Filter milling and turning tools or assemblies using text strings
- A new search parameter of text string is introduced in CAMWorks 2022
- Users can search for tools using any customized text
- Quickly filter tools located in the library
Document Manager in CAMWorks ShopFloor
- Allows users to add, review and remove documents of almost any type to the ShopFloor file, without the need for a full ShopFloor license
- Ideal for departments outside of manufacturing, such as purchasing or finance, to add files to the CAMWorks ShopFloor files
- Links to added files are created for tracking purposes and a history of changes is provided
- Protects users design IP and internal data

![geometry tab for 3 axis](https://ddk3ap9k3zpti.cloudfront.net/wp-content/uploads/geometry-tab-for-3-axis.png)
Geometry Tab for 3 Axis Operations Workflow
- New geometry tab in 3 Axis Operations to improve workflow and save time
- Provides the ability to edit the multi-surface feature being machined, create avoid features (faces to avoid), contain areas and avoid areas
- Options can be added, edited and/or deleted and features can be selected within the geometry tab, removing the need to go back to the feature tree each time
Added VoluMill Enhancements
- Option to convert rapid moves to high-feed moves to significantly reduce shaking of the machine and make smooth movements between toolpaths
- Option to convert arc moves to line moves, with the ability to specify a deviation value
