Catia v5 to Mach 2

[86meesta2]

I am using catia v5 to do my part designing/toolpath generation, and I am using Mach 2 with my machine. I used the import .jpg/.bmp feature in Mach 2 last night to play around, and I actually cut out a few things successsfully. However, I had a part I used catia to generate the g code with, and when I loaded it, it is in a completely different format:

Mach 2 created this for the image I cut out:
M3
G0 X0.000 Y0.000 Z0.000
G1 X0.000 Y0.000 Z-0.996
G1 X0.100 Y0.000 Z-0.996
G1 X0.200 Y0.000 Z-0.996
G1 X0.300 Y0.000 Z-0.996
G1 X0.400 Y0.000 Z-0.996
G1 X0.500 Y0.000 Z-0.996
G1 X0.600 Y0.000 Z-0.996
....etc

Catia outputs this for the part I want to cut out:
GOTO / 2.71116, 2.39813, 1.14764
GOTO / 2.71116, 2.39813, 0.75394
GOTO / 2.32327, 2.39813, 0.65000
FEDRAT/ 1000.0000,MMPM
GOTO / 2.32187, 2.39813, 0.65000
GOTO / 2.32187, 2.33187, 0.65000
GOTO / 4.14813, 2.33187, 0.65000
GOTO / 4.14813, 2.39813, 0.65000
GOTO / 2.32327, 2.39813, 0.65000
GOTO / 2.32327, 2.42938, 0.65000
GOTO / 2.32327, 2.46063, 0.65000
GOTO / 2.25937, 2.46063, 0.65000
GOTO / 2.25937, 2.26937, 0.65000
GOTO / 4.21063, 2.26937, 0.65000
...etc

How do I make catia output code Mach 2 can read?

Thanks!

What you have output is APT code not G-code.
You need choose postprocessor from "options" menu.
I would think IMS has good Fanuc post which is compatible with Mach.
After defining post you need chose´output type as g-gode, not apt.
