NC file same location as MCX-7 file??

[PcRobotic]

Is there a way that I can make the NC file follows the MCX-7 file in the same file location?

 

I'm having problem that I have to set it every time I change the post. Is there away I can make the post forces the NC file follow the MCX-7 location?

 

 

Thank you.

Use the Project manager

Use the Project manager

 

+1! I never used, but from now...

 

 

Or you can set the same path as MCX in pprep$ postblock:

spathnc$ = smcpath$

 

But wih this after posting done, the editor opens but WITHOUT posted NC code... I don't know why yet. :/

I did use the "Project manager" and some how it doesn't work. I don't know why although I've been trying patiently for a month.... It keeps changing back to the normal default MasterCam location whenever I change to a new machine.

Is this right? I put it in but nothing happened. Can you tell me what I've done wrong?

Yepp, should be right. Have you checked the folder of MCX? After posting I mean.

My bad, I got it and the file is not opened since the MACHINE DEFINITION is suggesting one location and the post automatically follows the SOURCE's file (Thank you).

 

After I post the NC file does not appear as usual after post, is there a way I can make it automatically open like before?

Guy, I think you might want to re-examine the pathing in your MD/CD. You might be reading the wrong file(s).

What is MD/CD Rocheey1

[rocheey1]

Machine Definition / Control Definition. ...MD/CD is less typing, and sounds way cooler

[PcRobotic]

So where is the MD/CD pacicify section that I need to look into?
