Will the production machining option in Creo give me the ability to post process my models in manufacturing mode to a .tap file. Will it also post process to g-code and does it come with the basic drivers to post to g-code?

Dustin,

Yes the production machining has the ability to post process files to G Code using G Post from Austin NC. All the manufacturing  modules have the ability except for expert machinist as I found out a while ago.

There is a large assortment of pre built posts in the support portal that you can use or build your own using them as starting points.
