This is the practice exercise video solution.

For this practice, we'll be using the supply data set,
00:11
We want to take a look at this data set because we have our 123
00:14
block that has detailed tool paths to create the single or the first operation.
00:21
What we want to do is we want to identify these different tool paths.
00:24
We want to create an NC program and then we want to create our setup sheet and G code
00:29
to do this. We want to begin by making sure set up.
00:31
One is selected, navigate to the setup, drop down and select create NC program.
00:37
Currently, it's bringing in a name number of 3001.
00:41
We're gonna change this to be 5001 for our program number.
00:45
And we're gonna add a comment 123
00:47
block
00:50
beside one.
00:52
I'm gonna be using the
00:53
next GEN control.
00:54
If you want to select a different post processor,
00:57
make sure that you navigate to that location,
00:59
choosing it from the library or any local post that you use.
01:02
We're not going to be modifying any of the post properties,
01:05
but we'll move on to the operations tab.
01:08
We wanna make sure that we're bringing all the operations in.
01:10
Set up one from all the drilling operations, the chamfer and the contours,
01:15
we're gonna select OK to create our NC program.
01:19
And I'm gonna rename this NC program, set up one.
01:25
Now that we have our NC program,
01:26
we have a simple way where we can right click and create
01:29
our setup sheet as well as our post process G code.
01:32
It's gonna ask me for a location,
01:34
make sure that you navigate to a location saved on your computer.
01:37
That makes sense.
01:41
In my case, I'm going to place it in the same location as the data set.
01:46
Now that we have our set up sheet, we can review the information,
01:49
determine if we want to change anything in the configuration.
01:52
For example, show a tools only version
01:55
and we can print it out or pass this along with a share link.
01:59
Once we have our setup sheet, let's go ahead and navigate to our NC program,
02:03
right click and select post process.
02:06
For me. This is going to open up in visual studio code
02:10
right now. Visual studio code is showing the G code which can be sent to our machine
02:15
depending on how your machine is connected.
02:18
You might want to take this onto a thumb drive and
02:20
load it into the control via the USB on the side.
02:24
At this point.
02:24
I'm gonna cancel out of this and make sure that everything is saved with my data set.
