setup sheet file extensions

[35K chipper]

how can i change the file extension for setup sheets? i changed the $sextnc to .TSX in the .set post file and i still get .doc!!! in versions prior to X i would change the config file #502 document (ascii) extension? to .ts7 or .ts8 or .ts9 and the sexnc in the .set posts. now i want the .doc files to output .tsx . there are no lines in the config files in X for file extensions. can this be changed or is .doc hardwired in all versions of X ?

 

thanks

Chipper I found this after opening MIll.SET

# Additional Notes:

# --------------------------------------------------------------------------

# File extension (.doc) is set internally in MP. Use pprep$ postblock to override this setting.

#

# Rapid traverse times are determined by maximum rapid feedrates set in the selected Machine Definition

# Time estimates will be wrong if these settings are incorrect.

Hope this helps.

code:

---

sfilename2 ""          # Filename

sextdoc .doc

 

ppost$

sfilename2 = spathnc$ + snamenc$ + sextdoc

result = 1

result = fexist (sfilename2)

if result = 1, result = remove(sfilename2)
