scenario 1. Enter the NC Manufacturing Review workbench and click Read Manufacturing Data from a V4 Model . The following dialog box appears.
2. Navigate to the desired CATProduct and click Open.

Use the arrow buttons to move the NC Mill sets to be processed to the right-hand column. One or more sets can be selected and ordered using the arrow buttons. Click OK.

A progression bar appears giving the status of the NC Mill set and machining operation being processed.
The selected NC Mill set is added to the Process List at Part Operation level. The PPR tree is updated with the manufacturing information of the selected NC Mill set.

A program V4 Program.1 containing all the machining operations and tool changes of the NC Mill set is added at Manufacturing Program level.
