Tutorial: Use a Netfabb configuration in ATU

Generate a TOOLPATHXML file using the Graphical Toolpath Editor and import it in ATU for further use

The graphical toolpath editor (GTPE) of Autodesk® Netfabb® is used to interactively arrange basic calculation steps and chain them together.

Autodesk® Advanced Toolpath Utility for Netfabb®, or ATU, is a graphical IDE to develop toolpathing instructions for use within ATU itself, or more practically, in a host application that supports Encrypted Build Processor Archives, or EBPAs, such as Netfabb.

In this tutorial you'll learn how to export a configuration generated using the GTPE and to import it intoATU, converting into script code that in turn can serve as a starting point for further development.
