    draw your part in MC-X create a machining or cutting file using toolpaths options.
    Once you have a tool path select "post" option, this will create a *.NC file an will probably be saved im masterCam\Router\NC directory.

    Next step is to open Mach3 and select "load G-code" a window will pop-up and you will need to brouse for you *.NC file (You might need to change the displayed extention from *.tap to *.* or as we know it is *.NC just select *.NC
