To save NC code

  1. Click Home tab > NC Code panel > Save NC.
    Note: FeatureCAM simulates the toolpaths if you have not yet done so.
  2. Specify the settings in the Save NC dialog:
    1. Specify the NC Output Directory.
    2. If you want the NC code file to have a different name that the part name, enter a different name for the NC file name. If you omit the file extension, it defaults to *.txt.
    3. If you want to save the NC code for only the current Setup, select Current Setup. Select All Setups if you want to save separate NC programs for each Setup.
    4. Select what you would like to save to disk from: Operations list, Tools List of All Setups, Tools List of Each Setup, NC Program, Tool data, F/S data, Machining Configuration. See FeatureCAM file types for an explanation of the types of files that are saved.
    5. Click Create subfolder if you want to create an additional folder inside the NC Output folder. This folder has the same name as your part.
    6. If you know you want to overwrite all existing folders with the same names, select Overwrite Existing Files. Otherwise you are asked to confirm before overwriting any file.
  3. Click OK.
Note: You can also save code if you click Home tab > NC Code panel > Show NC, and then click Save NC in the NC Code tab of the Results window.
