Project Manager MR2

[DavidB]

I don't keep my NC files where I keep my MCX files.

The project manager only lets you keep your NC files where you keep your MCX file, why not let us select where we can put the NC files?

 

The way I map my NC files is in the Ops Manager, Files,Toolpath directory, but now with MR2 this is not sticking when I make a new toolpath?

I set the mapping of the NC file create a new toolpath and it's called NC GROUP.NC

 

It should be called my NC file name I gave in Toolapth directory.

I now have to edit selected operations and change NC name.

 

Thanks

David, if i understand you correctly, this might help:

 

goto settings/config/files, select NC toolpaths. in the window below that, you can select your folder for NC files.

DavidB,

Have you seen the new Toolpath Manager property page in System Configuration? Maybe these new settings are changing the way you work.

David,

 

Where you map your .nc files to is still controlled in the control def >> files.

 

With thta being said I don't know if the Project manger overirdes that setting but I srill do it that way and it wotks fine.

Johan,

Each job I do the NC file is stored in a different directory so setting the NC file in the config wont work for me.

 

Steve, BINGO NC file was set to "user defined name"

 

 

John, from what I read and I think the video says the same, is that the Project manager will override the config settings.

Thanks

The only solution I see for this situation is to make sure in the post processing dialog that you choose "Ask" instead of "Overwrite". This way it will prompt you every time you post out and you can select a different folder before you save the NC file.

I hate the new project manager. We have always kept the .nc files seperate from the drawing files...Now it leaves you with little choice. I know you can change the location of your .nc file, but they took out the ability to make a new folder from the machine properties box.

I noticed this as well...anyone know a way to switch this back to the way it used to work?

anyone got a easy "workaround" besides creating a folder in windows explorer?

[DavidB]

You have to create the folder first no way now to create it in MCX MR2:confused:

Don't check off NC files. Wouldn't that work? I don't use project manager. Just wondering.
