Template Converter
Important! Some NC template files will require a one-time conversion in order for the procedures and cutters to be displayed in the NC Templates Manager. To convert these templates, use the Cimatron NC Template Converter (CNcTemplateConverter.exe).
The converter file can be found in the following folder:
...\Program File\Cimatron\Cimatron\2026.0\Program\
Open the CNcTemplateConverter.exe file. The Template Converter dialog is displayed.
Browse to and select the folder that contains the template files you want to convert.
Click Execute to convert the template files.
Using the NC Templates Manager
Select NC Utilities > Templates > Templates Manager from the menu bar.
The Cimatron NC Templates Explorer opens.
From the Folder tree, navigate to the folder where your templates are located and select a template.
Note:
NC templates are stored in the MM and Inch sub-folders located in the following folder:
...\ProgramData\Cimatron\Cimatron\2026.0\Data\templates\ENC
From the File Control pane, you can select a template and drill down using the 
icon to list the template's toolpaths and procedures (and associated cutters).
Click the 
icon to close or collapse a particular list.
Note: You can select multiple procedures at once; however, only the properties (attributes) that are common to all the selected procedures are displayed in the Properties panel (see the next step).
Notice that when you select a template, a picture and the template's properties are displayed in the Properties pane. Also, the template's General and Advanced properties are listed. Click the Expand

icons to expand or collapse the properties as needed. Use the scroll bar on the right to scroll up or down the Properties pane.
You can also edit many of the template's properties directly from the Properties pane.
