                              1. Process your vector file with a CAM software. CAM software can add lead   in/out points, arrange nesting, post G-code for you. If your part is
 small, you can also ask the CAM software to generate micro bridge for
 you.
 
 2. Do your design in CAD and save as .dxf, if you have an image (a pixel
 file, also called raster), you can convert that to a vector file with
 some kind of raster to vector conversion software. These software are
 available on online, some are free, others you need to pay.
 
 3. Read the G-code to your waterjet machine controller. Some controller will
 allow you do simulation or dry run to see if the cutting will be as
 desired.
 
 4. Decide whether you want underwater cutting or not and set the water level
 in your catch tank accordingly. In manual mode, move your waterjet
 cutting head to the starting point and set this point as your workpiece
 origin. 
                              5. Switch your waterjet to auto mode, and start cutting from here.
