Solid work cam n00b questions

MR-1

Hi, So I’m running solidworks 2022 and I just started to dabble in CAM. I was able to get all my operations done for the bottom side of this coaster.

So far I have everything within 1 Mill Part Setup. So I figure one part for the bottom and one part for the top.

My question is, there is tool change here. Do I need to make tool changes a separte Mill Part Setup? Does it know to stop for a tool change? When I run the simulation I cant tell it just switches tools

You have to post every tool separately. You can combine different operations, but still must be the same tool.
