Use Import. Right click in OP manager

For merging toolpaths I always use the import function. Right click in the ops manager window and select import. At the top of the screen that comes up you will get the file name which is usually the mill_default file. Click the folder button next to that and you can navigate to any folder. Select the folder your part is in. Then you get all the toolpaths in that file so you can select the toolpaths and import the geometry with the toolpaths and other options there. You wont get the geometry for the entire part, just the geometry for each specific toolpath you import. You even get to select where to place the geometry.
