NX 9 - generate G code

NX 9 - generate G code

(OP)
Hi, sorry for the newbie question,
But I am having serious trouble understanding how do I get the raw G code out of my machining operations?
I would like to have it in the format of NC file.
Thanks!
I forgot to add, knowing where to look for the physical processing time would also be nice.

RE: NX 9 - generate G code

Right click on the operation or program group in the Operation Navigator and select post process.
You can then pick the post processor to use.
If you don't have a post that suits your machine, then that's a whole new thread in the making!

If you expand the operation navigator it will display the times for each operation.
You may have to turn on the time column.
RMB in the operation navigator, select Columns and then tick time.
