Usability tip with NC filenames

I for one like to assign NC file name based on which toolpath group op resides in. When importing ops from another mcam files, they need to be reassigned. However the suggested new name may be practically anything, I have no clue how mcam guesses it. So why not change the editbox to a COMBOBOX and display all NC filenames present in the project in a drop-down list?

Just a suggestion

With the settings Toolpath Manager set as "mastercam file name" when you pick a machine it automatically populates the # to all 3 spots.

Before we even start, we assign a program number, then immediately before doing anything we save the empty file where it belongs using "save as".  

That's the only time we need to put the # in. and no typos!
