This section describes how to convert the information stored in the Process Table into an NC Program.
This section uses the demonstration post processor (swiss-demo.pst) supplied with PartMaker. This is a generic post processor that is provided for demonstration purposes only.

- Select Job Optimizer > Post Config File to display the Open Post Configuration File dialog. Select the swiss-demo.pst file in the PM-Swiss folder of your PartMaker installation and click Open.
- Click the
