Editing text in MC windows

[awheeler]

Is there a way to edit the text in the manual entry toolpath window. Instead of the text reading "1005" and "1006" in the NCI output method section, is it possible to edit the text to read something else, i.e. "Comment Entry" and "G Code" so other users here know which one to choose to output code or parenthetical comments?

 

Thanks in advance.

Yes, yes and yes!

 

1. just start typing.

 

2. Type out a .txt, save that down. Then click the button that says "use file" (or something like that) and select the file that you have saved.

Oh, most posts require some editing to get really clean 1005 or 1006 comments

Keith,

I'm sorry, I didn't make myself very clear. What I'm talking about is the actual text ("1005" and "1006" in this case) that is shown in the MC window box itself, next to the selection boxes in the "NCI output method" portion of the "manual entry" dialogue window, not text that I would enter to be included in the code output. I would like to change that text to read something a little bit more descriptive than just "1005" and "1006".
