Hello Mike,
Sounds like you are looking for a link between CAD and Machining. That link in the process is CAM Software or Computer Aided Manufacturing Software.
In your CAM Software you select:
Stock size you will machine
Tool you will use
Feeds and Speeds of machining
Type or style of machining
How many Axis machining
Plus others. When you are done with all that, your CAM Software post-processes a g-code file. You then take that file and run it in your CNC Control software.
For you the CNC Control Software sounds like this:
"The software that my Wabeco mill uses is NCCAD Basic and it can readily import the file."
Here is a video series that walks through all the CNC Steps if you are interested.

Have a good one,
Ivan
