I've been using solidworks for makers for a few months now for 3d printing. It's still a bit of a learning curve, but I can usually make things work eventually. Now I'm trying to get my generic 3018 CNC working. I'm fine with drawing the part in solidworks, or at least getting there. The issue is when I go to turn that part into gcode for the CNC. I wish there was a File, Print to CNC like there is for 3DPrinter. Is there? Only thing I've seen is the NC Shop Floor Machining. I've found the guide here for "A Beginners Guide to Shop Floor Machining" and also the guide for adding the "Desktop 3018 GRBL Mill Post Processor", but I'm stuck on the most important part (at least so far) on page 12 "Importing 3d Model Data and Creating a Manufacturing Cell". I think things have changed a bit since the guide was written in May of 2023 because alot of things don't match up.

Is there a way to choose "print to cnc" in solidworks? If not, is there an easier way to get from solidworks to cnc? Most of my google searches say Fusion 360. I really want to use one thing for creating parts for both the 3d printer and CNC. I kinda get that one is additive and the other subtractive so there are some things to keep in mind while designing, but that doesn't mean they can't both be done in the same cad package.

Anyway, I'm really novice when it comes to CNC and not much further along in 3D Printing, so it's probably just my lack of knowledge and experience holding me back. Thanks
