toolpath groups

[mcoates]

In version 8 how do you post a toolpath when a toolpath in another operation group is highlighted?

I went back to check on something today after I had written a new toolpath in a different group. I couldn't post it even though I changed the active group to the one I wanted to check. I assume the highlighted operation means its the last one written, why does this matter?

If you want to post one group in an operations list you have to select (blue checkmark) every operation in the group.

Just hold down the control key and click on the operations you want to post. If it doesn't have a blue check, it won't post.

If the op has a blue check and still won't post make sure its *.nci name is the same as rest of the operations. If its not, you can change it with the options menu. (right click anywhere white in the ops manager)

My problem is that I can't post anything in any other operations group than the one that has the highlighted operation even though they have a blue check. I have never had this happen before, I've always been able to go from op group to op group and post all or single operations.

In the words of Emily Litella from Saturday Night Live "Nevermind".

I had a space in the NCI name which freaks out Mcedit, showing a blank file.

I was looking at the big picture rather than a simple, known problem. I've had this problem with v6, v7 and now v8. I imagine others have also.

It posts fine.
