Creating geometry in PartMaker

The geometry of a part is a key element to creating the toolpaths that define how the part will be machined.

In PartMaker, you can create geometry in any of the following ways:

• Import a 3D solid model file, as described in Importing a 3D solid model and extracting geometry.
• Import a 2D (.DXF) file, as described in Importing a 2D geometry file.
• Create CAD geometry within PartMaker using its CAD mode. For details of how to create CAD geometry directly within PartMaker, refer to PartMaker's online help.
