To Create a Stock Model
You can create a stock model when the active operation references one of the following workcells:
• Mill
• Turn
• Wire EDM
1. On the Mill tab, Turn tab, or Wire EDM tab, click > 
Stock Model.
Stock Model.Alternatively, in the Model Tree right-click the sequences or operation for which the stock model is required and select Stock Model. The Stock_Model tab opens.
2. Click the Reference Steps collector and select the required NC sequences in the Model tree.
If you have opened the Stock_Model tab by selecting one or more sequences in the Model Tree, the number of sequences selected appears in the Reference Steps collector.
You must select constraints to calculate the stock model. The selected constraints appear in the Previous Stock or Boundary collector on the References tab. The constraints can be one of the following types:
◦ Workpiece
◦ Previously defined stock model
3. On the References tab, the following options are available:
◦ Reference Steps—If you have selected one or more NC sequence as reference steps. They are listed in this collector. If not, select the required sequences.
◦ Previous Stock or Boundary—Select constraints to calculate the stock model. The constraints can be one of the following types:
▪ Workpiece
▪ Previously defined stock model
 | Selection of reference steps and previous stock or boundary options are also available on the shortcut menu in the graphics window. |
4. On the Options tab, click Export Stock Model to save the model as a *.stl file.
5. On the Properties tab, specify a name for the stock model. The Name box shows the default name.
