Manufacturing — CAM Posting a program

Posting a program

Toolpaths are a plan. Posting turns them into the G-code file your machine actually runs.

Export in the Manufacturing rail does it.

What comes out

A program in your machine's dialect, with the operations in their tool-run order so all the work for one cutter happens together and tool changes fall between groups rather than scattered through the job.

What travels with it

A program posted by Prime Motion carries more than moves:

Also includedWhat it enables
StockThe Run screen draws your real material rather than guessing a box
Tool geometryThe on-screen cutter is shaped like the tool you actually fitted
Tool run groupingTool changes land at group boundaries

Then what

Posted programs go into Projects, and are run from there — see Projects and Loading a program.
