Export to NC 
Access: Open this function from the following location:
-
Select File > Export > Export To NC from the Part menu bar.
Export a part (from a Cimatron Part file) or multiple parts or sub-assembly (from a Cimatron Assembly file) to a single Cimatron NC (Subtractive Manufacturing) file for post-printing operations, such as milling, drilling, etc.
When files have been exported to NC, the NC environment is loaded and the Import from Part/Assembly function is invoked.
When exporting a sub-assembly to NC, the assembly structure is not lost when imported into NC. You can easily select the parts and sub-assemblies to be imported by using the Component Chooser dialog, and the entire assembly structure is kept as read-only sets. Using these sets, you can control the visibility of components and program accordingly. This functionality is particularly useful when working with fixtures, molds, and die sets with multiple components.
For example, the image below shows an assembly with two orange components mounted on grey tables. When exporting to NC, the assembly structure can be kept for selection and visibility purposes for easy management of NC operations.
Note: Additional Import/Export operations are available, either between Cimatron files or between Cimatron and external file formats (file formats of a different vendor). For the latter operation, the Data Interface environment provides numerous options to perform this task.
