Once machining operations are created they can be archived along with the VisualCAD part (.vcp) file.  This can be accomplished by simply saving the part file.  When the part file is retrieved, all archived operations will be loaded along with the part file.

Another powerful way of using archived machining operations is to create operations and save them in a knowledge base. You then can load this knowledge base file to any part geometry. These machining operations can then be utilized to generate toolpaths to machine the newly loaded geometry. This is a powerful feature that allows you to use existing machining operations without having to recreate these operations in every new session of MILL module.

Refer to Knowledge Base for detailed description.
