Exporting tool paths
- [Instructor] Now that we have all of our tool paths, we can export them into a language that your CNC machine will understand called G-code. So, we could select all of these tool paths and export them together if you have automatic tool change, or you could export them as individual pieces if you do not have automatic tool change. My machine unfortunately does not have automatic tool change, so I'm just going to select my first two paths. And the reason I'm selecting both of these is because they both use the same tool and come in successive order. So this is just using my half-an-inch diameter end mill, and I won't have to change them out between these two paths.
