    Mastercam X divide each toolpath of the nc program into separated NC programs

    hey there ya'll,
    this is my first contribution to this forum. i run a die shop in central european automotive company. i'm working with nc milling, edm sinking machine and wirecut. machines are from fanuc and agie. software i'm using is ACAD and Mastercam X.

    i'm having troubles to generate nc program out of Mastercam X without dividing each toolpath into separate programs.
    I used to not have this issue but since there's a new coleague in my team messing around with the Mastercam settings, options and even postprocessor I can't figure out how to make the Mastercam X run like it used to.
    Can someone tell me where to look (settings, postprocessor or something else) to fix this?
    thank you very much in advance.

    Go to settings, configure, tool path Manager, on the right NC file should read: prompt first operation only and last operation NC file. This is the default settings. This will work for the new files you create, to change existing nc file name to the same. go to operation manager right click select edit selected operation, change nc file name.
