In CAMWorks SP1, during Assembly Machining, when user exercises the Override option in the Indexing tab for a Setup and inputs a negative angle value, CAMWorks displays an error message stating that only values between 0 degree and 36o degrees can be entered. Previous versions of CAMWorks (including CAMWorks 2015 SP0.1) allowed users to input negative values.
