Subject: FlatCam 8.5 question HELP!!

From: bnf@...
Date: 2016-12-29

I down loaded Flatcam 8.5 I was able to up load my Gerber file for the copper side top and get it to generate the isolation cutting trace but for the life of me I can not figure how to get it to generated the G-code for cutting.

I read through the manual it shows Under the options tab there is a section labeled Create CNC job where  Z cut , feed rates, tool change etc etc  but no "button" to click on for generating the G-code.  

If G-code is being generated I have no idea where it is being saved. 
Please can any one HELP I am at a loss as how to actually access the G-code from the program to run on my machine.
