Setting up the simulator
First of all, we need to set millimeters as units and load an
appropriate machine for our project.

From the main menu, select Settings and click on Settings.

Ensure that you have millimeters selected as this tutorial is

made in millimeters.

Setting up the simulator (Contd.)
Load Machine from the main menu or click the open machine
button

Double-click on the Milling folder.

In the dialog that shows, please deselect “Load demo”. Then

select the “Lathe Center” machine and click Open.

Setting up the simulator (Contd.)
Fine, now let’s get started by defining our
workpiece. Press F2 on the keyboard to open the
Inventory Browser.
Click on the “Mill Workpieces” tab at the top of
the dialog.
Click on the green plus button to add a new
workpiece.
Change its size and then select OK.
Last to call your workplace, type this command
$AddRegPart (Workpiece Name) X Y positions on
the tool

Lab Task 1
Write a G code for this Drawing and take the thickness of
this sheet as 10 mm. All values are in mm. The square box
dimension are 20 by 20. The depth of cut for square box
is 6mm

20
To reduce the chance of plagiarism, remember to
machine the first acronym of your name inside the box.
You can assume the dimensions but the cut depth should

10
be 3mm

Share the task pictures and G-Code at the end of lecture
because it would be graded!
