NC Process Menu: Post & Report Tools

This group of functions is used for post processing and report related operations.

The following functions are available in this group:

Capture Report Images

Capture images from the Cimatron graphics area and save them as JPG files. These images can then be used in the NC Report, in addition to the image captured when generating the report.

Job Manager

The Job Manager lists all jobs. A job is defined as an execution of either Post Processing (PP) or NC Report (NCR). Each time you execute either of these functions, a new job is created capturing the session. Using the Job Manager, you can follow up the relevant data for each execution, such as the list of the participating procedures, the post-processor used, the post interaction parameters, the session time, and the output file location. The Job Manager enhances control over the milling process and results in easier management of the deliverables to the shop floor.

NC Report

The NC Report is a file that provides various information about a set of selected procedures. This information includes details about the project and provider, as well as toolpaths, procedures (including multi-cutter information), and parameters.

Post Process

A Cimatron Post Processor is a program that translates Cimatron NC (Numerical Control) data (toolpaths and procedures) into specific CNCCNC(Computer Numerical Control) machine tool commands (machine code). These commands are known as Posts or G-Code programs (see the Glossary for additional information on G-Code).
