- Create objects and designs or import artwork into the Workspace
- Assign machining operations to shapes
- Select tooling from the Tool Library and update or confirm tooling speeds and feeds
- Preview the upcoming operations
- Secure the material stock into the CNC machine's cutting work area
- Update or confirm project parameters
- Zero out the X, Y, and Z axis on either the machine's waste board/work area or on the material stock
