    What is the easiest way to convert a 3D model over to CNC tool paths?

    Is there anyone at you facility that does program tool motion with CATIA? Even the simplest tool motion requires the proper license(s), machine specific .pptables and a post processor. Also needed is knowledge of work holding and cutting tools. Sorry this is the best I can tell you.

I want to place the points into a sketch so that I can use the user defined pattern function and create all of the holes at once. I have copied the points into the sketch and when I exit the sketcher, the sketch...
