Editor questions

[Joeyls319]

Hey all.  I have a couple questions regarding the code editors (Cimco, code expert).  Right now I'm using Code expert to spit out the code.  When I post out a ".NC" file I get all the colors for the different moves and codes (x moves are red, z moves are green and such) which is what I want.  When I post out a file with no extension, I don't get the colors.

Is there a way to apply the colors to other file types?

I would like to use Cimco but whenever I change the editor in the settings and post out, I get  a "mastercam hasp not found" error.  Not sure how to fix that.  We are on a nethasp here.

Running 2017.

Can anyone give me any suggestions?  much appreciated.

Joey

Need to copy your nethasp.ini file to the Cimco folder and you should be good to go with Cimco.

Thank you so much Millman.  That worked wonderfully.

Any advise in regards to the other editor concern.

Getting the same results with files with no extension.  not getting the colors.

Okay.  I figured out my issue in Cimco.  I needed to change the file type to something besides "text file".

In cimco settings there is a box to put other extension s. Mpf for example is our Siemens matsuura extension.

That seems to bite many a folk. Get support emails and calls were they switched to text. I may need to start creating some videos if this happens do this.
