    loose operations while posting?!

    im having an issue when i try to post. i select all my operations, then hit "G1", and when the "save as" window pops up, i always loose at least 1 operation. now it gets really weird. if i click the red "X" to close the save as window, the window closes, then pops right back open. and the operation i lost will be checked again, and all the others will be un-checked! what the heck? so i have to make 2 separate posts, and manually edit the programs together. im just useing generic posts. but, ive tried several, and they all do the same thing. this is becoming a pain, and consuming alot of time.

    You are having the same problem as posting 2 separated .nc file

    In the operations manager, have a look at the toolpath posting filename,
    they will be different

    To make the same, select the operations you want in the one posting file and R-click, select "Edit Selected Operations", then "Change NC file name.." Mcam will ask you what filename you wish for the NC-code.

    they will be different
    Not always...

    There is actually a bug that has to do with opening older files in a new MC version and adding operations... Even though the "NC File Name" is exactly the same in all ops, MC still sees them as different...

    The solution is exactly as Superman said though... Just "change NC file name" and all is well...
