not posting all selected ops

[specprogrammer]

So I finish applying toolpaths to the part and I'm ready to post. I select all operations and hit post. The post processing dialog box comes up and I hit the green checkmark. Then somthing strange happens. The save as dialog box opens up like it should, but now not all of my operations are checked. If I hit save it posts the four of the five operations that I have. I close the editor and another save as dialog box is there. Hit save again and it posts the other operation. Now I know I can do some cut and paste to get around this but whats causing this to happen. It did this the other day with a different programmer with a different file too.

This topic needs to be a sticky one somewhere.

Yup , again and again, again, it keeps coming up.

 

I think the default needs to be changed so it automatically picks up a name depending on the toolpath manager settings and if someone wants to over ride that, then they have the option of doing that.

 

I'd like to see program #'s handled the same way as well.

 

I don't care if you add an OP 3 months after you programmed it, if it goes into a toolpath group name blah op1, then it should automatically pick that name up, same with the #

Let's keep our fingers crossed.

What am I missing?

We already have that

 

 

 

Set it and forget it

[Mcam Nut]

So we do, sweet.

[Cuda84]

That's what I thought.

 

I was not sure what everyone was talking about. Thought I was missing something. I have my system set up to toolpath group name, and I never have a problem.

Wow, look what I stirred up. Gcode/Genius!

I need to pay closer attention. I have the file naming set but I still get files that do not grab the name.

 

Perhaps they are older files being brought into X. I need to double check the next time

John,

They won't if you programmed them before setting the

default anything parts programmed after changing the default should stick.

But that means the NC name will match the group name?

 

I use groups like OP10, OP20 ect, but the NC name is for example MMC0123.NC. I dont want the NC name to be the Toolpath group name.

As long as it is an option and not the default....
