To Save Toolpaths


After you have created and simulated the toolpaths, you must save the toolpaths as machine-specific files so you can export the data to the CNC machine tool.

To save all toolpaths within a model:

  1. In the Project Tree, select the Toolpaths item. The Toolpaths panel is displayed.
  2. In Toolpath Operations area, click the Save Toolpaths  button. The Save Toolpaths dialog is displayed, for example:


  3. Use  and  to order the toolpaths.
  4. Specify the folder in which you want to save the file:

    1. Click Browse. The Browse dialog is displayed.
    2. Select the folder.
    3. Click Open. The dialog closes and the path is displayed in the Save in box.
  5. Enter a File name.
  6. In the Machine file format list, select file type for the machine tool.
  7. Click Save.
