2 turning ops or more on solidcam?

Thanks im going to try it this morning. So do i have my mac 1 datum as usual for op 1 then at the other far end of the component i have a mac 2 datum? i tried something similar but the turning tool seemed to come in the wrong way for the second side....ie side I was machining was at the left side of the screen and the tool came in from the left through the chuck jaws.

Just tried it with a mac 2 position on the other end and says "geometry intersects with clamp" when i try and run a facing operation.....

ideally i need step by step instructions on how to do this including where the options are that im selecting. I cant find anything on the net.

Update, ive spoken to an ex work colleague and found that i run solid verify then go to file and save the job as stock to stl. Ive created the second program doing op2 of my turned part and added the stock as the stl I previously saved. Only problem now is the stl stock is the opposite way round onscreen to my component....any ideas?
