Generate NC Data

The tasks for using capabilities such as production of NC output data are documented in the NC Manufacturing Infrastructure User's Guide. 

For Version 5 programs, you can generate NC output data when all machining operations have their associated tool path. For operations which have no associated tool path, the applications that are used to create and compute tool paths must be available.

For Version 4 programs issued from NC Mill or NC Lathe, you can generate NC output data when the APT association is done on the program.

	Generate APT Source Code in Batch Mode: Select the Generate NC Output in Batch Mode icon then select the manufacturing program or part operation to be processed and define the APT source processing options.
	Generate Clfile Code in Batch Mode: Select the Generate NC Output in Batch Mode icon then select the manufacturing program or part operation to be processed and define the Clfile processing options.
	Generate NC Code in Batch Mode: Select the Generate NC Output in Batch Mode icon then select the manufacturing program or part operation to be processed and define the NC code processing options.
	Generate a CATProduct In-Process Model in Batch Mode: Select the Generate NC Code in Batch Mode icon then select the manufacturing program to be processed and specify the processing options for generating a CATProduct in-process model.
	Generate NC Output in Interactive Mode: Select the Generate NC Code Interactively icon then select the manufacturing program or part operation to be processed and define processing options.
	Batch Queue Management. Manage tool path computation outside the interactive session, with the possibility of scheduling the execution of several batch jobs.
