I am using CATIA V5R10 . I am now use its NC manufacturing but it out put for CNC is in APT. how can I convert it to G-code or get G-code of CATIA directly. Thanks


You need a post processor for your particular CNC machine that will read APT and convert it to machine code. Have you tried the machine manufactures website?

I know that there is a better and easier way. in CATIA in Tools/option/NC manufacturing I can identefy a post processor for getting G-code. but I dont know when I activate it, how can I get G-codes!?
