Create and manage jobs

Add, configure, reorder, and remove jobs within a project to model each machine setup or clamping change.

Updated October 29, 2026

Prerequisites: A project exists in Draft status, if you want to group this job with others. A job can also be created standalone with no project at all — useful for one-off planning.

Required permission: Engineering → Jobs — User or above. Adding a job from a project’s Process tab also requires that you can change that project. Admins can edit and delete any job; Managers and Users only the jobs they created.

Create a job

In the sidebar, click Engineering → Projects and open the project.
Click the Process tab, then click + at the bottom of the job list.
Enter the job Name (e.g., Op 10, Side A – Facing).
Select the Machine this job will run on. This enables slot-based tool renumbering and filters tool assembly compatibility.
Click Create.

A job doesn’t need a project to exist — to create one standalone, click Engineering → Jobs → + Create instead and leave the Project field blank.

Reorder jobs

Open the project’s Process tab.
Drag jobs to the desired sequence using the ≡ handle in the Action column of each row.
The new order is saved when you drop the job. Each job’s Order number updates automatically.

Edit a job

Open the project and click the job name.
Click Edit in the bottom toolbar.
Update the Name or Machine.
Click Update.

Print a setup sheet for a job

Setup sheets are printed per job and are available regardless of the job’s status.

Open the job.
Click Setup Sheet in the bottom toolbar.

Delete a job

Open the job detail.
Click Delete in the bottom toolbar.

Deleting a job also deletes all operations within it.

Notes

A project with no jobs cannot be released.
Each job models one machine setup. If machining a part requires two separate clampings or two different machines, create two jobs.
To add operations to a job, see Define Operations.
To import a job’s operations from Autodesk Fusion, see Import a CAM project.
