need help with mcx post

[fenix728]

hello, i have little experience with mcx, i know how to make programs,my problem is when i want to post ,after i selected all the operations say i have tool 1 lathe face ,the same for roughing,and t2 for finishing,and go to post window and select edit and cnc,options, when the window to save de cnc file comes up, my operations 2 and 3 are deselected i dont know how this happens,but the mastercam editor shows only a program for the first tool ,and after i close that window ,the 2 remaining tools appear selected automatically and the window to save a new cnc file comes up then it creates another program with the remaining operations rough and finish in it, but not the first tool, so i end up with 2 programs instead of one, the way i created the finish chain is with the option "last" of the chaining window,after i have chained the geometry for the previous tool which was roughing.this never happen before so i dont know whats causing it, can you guys please help me ,any advise will be greatly appreciated.
thankyou

Hello, this issue is very common with new users. You have a slightly different "nc file name" specified for your operations. The name for OP 1 may look the same as OPS 2 & 3 but there is likely a difference. It is also possible that you could be suffering from a bug in which the nc file names are, in fact, identical but MC treats them as different...

In any case the solution is easy.

Select all operations desired to post in a single program, then right-click in the ops manager and select EDIT SELECTED OPERATIONS>>>>CHANGE NC FILE NAME

Hope this helps !
