    Folder Shuffling

    I came across a problem today. A program that I made a couple weeks ago, I re-opened today. A simple one. 3 tools, 3 operations. I decided to change operations around and renumber tools. Simple. Right? Wrong! I go to post the program and it will only post the first tool. Then after the NC is generated for the first tool and I close the editor, MX2 generates an nc file for the other 2 tools. Ok, I have seen this with 7,8,9.... must be different NCI file names for some reason. Nope! File names are same. I call my distributor to see if he has an answer, no luck there. How unusual. I was pulling out the last 2 hairs out of my head trying to get this program to post all 3 tools. Finally, I decided to shuffle the folders around and try and re-post. After playing the shell game about 3-4 times, finally it posts all 3 tools. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    I would like to see the file that was not posting do you still have a copy I can see?

    Hi guys,

    I have reported this as a bug in the past. I thought it was fixed in the latest version...

    Anyway, my experience showed that if I used the "change nc file name" function (even though they were already the same) to rename all of the ops in a group, everything posted beautifully.

    I have also seen where guys go into an older file, add a couple ops, and don't realize that the file name is really similar but there is one character different... Common mistake.

    I had the same problem a few weeks ago. All i did was change the nc file name ( which was the same) and it worked just fine.
