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

| Tool geometry | The on-screen cutter is shaped like the tool you actually fitted |
| Tool run grouping | Tool changes land at group boundaries |

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