School Shop Needs Help

[PRCC Machine Shop]

I run a small community college machine shop. I have MasterCam v7.2 and am trying to link up with an Bridgeport EZ Trak. How do I send a program from MasterCam i.e. 1234.nc to a machine that wants it in 1234.pgm? I know I can rename the file. MasterCam sends a file to the Bridgeport called C:mill721234.pgm after I rename it. The Bridgeport wants a file C:PGMFILES1234.PGM. How do I get beyond this? Please help.

Did you not look in the first topic you posted? The answer lies there.

 

For the readers digest version,

 

File edit post, in the general output settings, if there is a variable named "sextnc" change it's value to pgm. If there is not a variable there copy this and paste it there;

 

sextnc .pgm #NC extension override
