Machine Tool Setup: Sets the Machine for 2½ axis, 3 axis, 4 axis and 5 axis operations.
Set Post-Processor Options: Allows you to set the Current Post Processor, posted file naming conventions, posted file extension, program to display the posted file.
Create Setup Operations: Sets the Coordinate System for Machining. The orientation of the part can be set using Orient Part, orientation of the Coordinate System can be defined under SetCSYS Setup for 3+2 machining and RotateTableSetup for 4 axis table rotate operations.
Create Stock Model: Allows you to create Stock geometry. User can also delete a Stock geometry by selecting Delete Stock.
Align: Allows you to Align stock model to part and locate WCS with respect to Part or Stock . This function is especially useful when the part model and the stock model are created without regard to their respective positional locations.
Define Stock Material: Allows you to select a material from the material list.
This section allows you to create machining operations. MILL module allows you to create multiple machining operations in a part file. This is a powerful feature that allows you to create an entire sequence of machining operations that is necessary to create the part model from the stock model. This set of operations can additionally be archived with the part file and retrieved at a later time with no loss of information.
