NC CO&E GENERATION :

After adding "achining operations to the Pro8ect .ist, these operations are con1erted to NC code and here one can choose NC code for a partic!lar "achine for"at -ig!re ( shows the  NC code generation option for -AN5C controller The pro8ect .ist order will be the order of  the operations in the NC code
