Once you create an NC Program to organize toolpaths from several setups into one CNC machine program group,
00:10
you can then create the NC output for your machine using an NC program operation.
00:17
From the Browser, right-click an NC program and select Post Process.
00:22
If your selection has multiple work offsets,
00:25
you may see a warning that your post and machine control need to support multiple work offsets to generate the correct output.
00:32
This warning is not an error, but is simply informative.
00:37
Click OK to dismiss the message.
00:40
You may need to overwrite a previous post.
00:44
Once complete, a success message provides the path to the file location and a link to view the NC code in your editor.
00:52
Click the link to open the file in the editor.
00:56
For the Face Top toolpath, you have the G54 fixture offset.
01:01
Scrolling down to the Face Bottom, you have the G55 fixture offset.
01:07
Further down, you can see that the tool for the Rough operation changes back to the G54 offset.
01:14
Based on a quick review, the program looks good, so there is nothing that needs to be done.
01:21
If you need to manually move the program to the machine, this is a good time to save it directly to a flash drive.
