Generating an NC Output File
This task explains how to interactively generate NC code from the program you have just
created.
1. Save your program with File/Save as in the directory of your choice (here we have
a directory called models)
and call your program MySurfaceMachining.
Press Save.
2. Select Manufacturing Program.1 in the specifications tree and select Generate NC
Code interactively in the contextual menu.

In the dialog box that is displayed, call your file SurfaceMachining (the aptsource suffix
is automatic). Browse to the directory where you want to save it (here we have chosen
to put it in the same directory as the CATProcess but this is not obligatory).
Click Save to create the APT file.

Area-oriented Machining
Area-oriented machining is a method where you define all of the separate areas you want to
machine on the part before assigning an operation to each one.
In this tutorial you are going to learn how to:
define areas (including a rework area) on the part below,
define tools to use on the areas,
use a safety plane,
change a tool axis,
create an APT file and a workshop document.

Entering the Workbench
This task shows you how to open a part and enter the Surface Machining workbench.
1.
Open the Gets2.CATPart in the samples directory.
2.
Select NC Manufacturing > Surface Machining from the Start menu.
The Surface Machining workbench is displayed.
The part is displayed in the viewer along with the manufacturing specifications.
3.
Press MB2 and MB3 at the same time and turn the part round so that it looks like this.
4.
Double click Part Operation.1 in the tree. In the dialog box that is displayed, click the
design part icon and click the part in the viewer.

Defining the Areas to Machine
This task teaches you how to define the specific areas on the part that you are going to
machine. You are going to define:
the whole part as a machining area for rough machining purposes
four other areas for use with different cycle types
and a rework area.
1.
Click on the Machining Area icon
.
2.
Place your mouse cursor over the red, sensitive area in the dialog box and press
MB3.
3.
Choose Body(ies) in the contextual menu.
4.
Click the part in the view. The whole part is selected. Double click anywhere in the
viewer to redisplay the dialog box.

5.
Give the machining area a name. Replace the text in the name box by Whole.
Click OK. You have just created your first machining area.
6.
Now create an area on the top of the part. Select the Machining area icon and click
(MB1 this time) on the red, sensitive area in the dialog box. Now select the areas
that you see selected in the picture below.
Click on OK in the face selection toolbar.
Call this area Top.
7.
Now do the same for the left side of the part with these faces:
