posting problem

[Bob W.]

I am trying to post a program with 5 total tool paths (face, drill, tap, etc...). When I go to post I select all tool paths and hit the post button, then Mcam unselects the last four of the tool paths and only tries to post the first. If I then cancel out of that dialogue another dialogue pops up asking where I would like to post the final four. None of these have been set to prevent posting (little ghost icon). Any idea what is going on and how to fix it?

 

Thanks,

Bob

select all the toolpaths. right click

edit common parameters/ change NC file name

and type in a filename.

well, that did it. Thanks! Is that a known bug or something?

No.. check out the Toolpath Manger in System Config.

What should I be looking for? It just started doing this out of the blue.

You are looking for the settings that will name all of the toolpaths in a tool group the same .nc name so that you won't have to do it manually.
