Saving an NC Program

Purpose

Saving the NC program stores the modifications made in the NC Editor and prepares the program for further validation or execution.

Edits may include:

• single-point modifications
• multi-line transformations
• reshape operations or coordinate adjustments

After saving, the updated NC file can be used for program validation, simulation, or execution on the machine controller.

Procedure

Step 1 — Open the Save Program Command

Click the Save Program button located in the left-side panel of the Shopfloor Assistant interface.

Step 2 — Select the Destination

Select the folder where you want to store your edited NC file and provide a clear, descriptive name.

Step 3 — Confirm the Save Operation

The system exports the NC program using the format supported by the configured controller, preserving all applied edits and transformations.

Operator insights

• Always save before validation - unsaved edits will not be included.
• Save frequently during editing to avoid losing progress.
• Use versioned file names (for example Part001_v2.xml) to track changes.
• Saving preserves all modifications applied via the NC Editor, including multi-line transformations and reshape edits.
