Creating an NCL Output in Creo
===============================

This document explains how to create an NCL file in Creo and convert it into an NC program by transferring it to MANUSpost (post-processing).

1- In the Manufacturing module, click the **Save a CL File** option located in the **Output** tab.

2- In the **Menu Manager** window that opens, there are two alternatives under **Select Feat**.
By selecting the desired operations using **NC Sequence**, an NCL output can be generated.
Alternatively, by using the **Operation** option, an NCL output can be generated for all operations under the **Main Program**.

.. raw:: html

   <div style="display:flex; gap:20px; align-items:flex-start; flex-wrap:wrap;">
     <a data-lightbox="group-creo-ncl" href="../../_images/creo21.png">
       <img src="../../_images/creo21.png" width="200" />
     </a>
     <a data-lightbox="group-creo-ncl" href="../../_images/creo22.png">
       <img src="../../_images/creo22.png" width="300" />
     </a>
   </div>

3- Then, using the **File** option, select **CL File** as the output type.
Click **Done**, choose the directory where the NCL file will be created, assign a file name, and save it.
The generated **.ncl** file is added to the MANUSpost interface, and the post-processing operation is performed.
