    Creating Toolpaths for IGS

    ok, I have some parts i created in Alibre design. I took them to my wifes work where I have access to MCX but I cannot figure out how to make the toolpaths to cut the parts. I need to create a profile path around the part to cut it out, I can do this with a DXF file, but cannot figure it out on a IGS file.


    Can anyone assist me?

    Save your Model or Drawing as an MC File after Importing. Then you should be able to create Tool Paths for your Geometry.
