Importing NC Code Files

This task shows you how to import NC code files into your Surface Machining session.

    The tool center output point option is only available in batch mode.

  1. Select the Manufacturing Program entity in the tree, then select Import APT,
    clfile or NC code file     in the contextual menu.

      The Input File button allows you to browse to the directory where the file is located,
    • choose the same post processor file as was used to create the file to import. 

  3. Click OK.
