New toolpath "Group greyed out"

[Fred @ Slate Industries]

As I tweak away some more at X.

I would like to Start a new toolpath group but its greyed out?

The exsisting groups (From a v9 import)are not.

 

Also I would like my NC file to be the same as the Toolpath group "Draft angles 3_5" etc.

Not (In a George Carlin Voice)

"Machine Group 1"

 

 

Thanks

Tony

it depends where you are right clicking at. If I remeber correclty you have to be on top of the machine group for this to work.

Tony,

 

Click "Files" in the machine group Properties in the toolpath manager. You can set the path and NC name there. Although, I'm not sure how to do it if you use multiple toolpath groups and want corresponding NC names too.

another way is to select all operations you want to have the same nc name for, then right click.... edit selected operations....change nc file name....then enter what you want.

 

Hope this helps

Thanks Guys,

I have the Name game figured out but...

When I post I am always dead ended in the NC file

Not NC/Job 580/Core etc.

Do I have to pick,pick,pick everytime?
