Please fix default output folder in NC Program

It's probably been mentioned loads before but I find it very frustrating that everytime you create a new NC Program it defaults the output folder to ".../Fusion 360 Cam/nc".

Quickest work around now is to create duplicate of a previous program. I'd rather be able to select a setup/folder and select create NC program and find it has suitable defaults. i.e. the same as last used in that file.

I like all the new features that are frequently added to Fusion but I think there needs to be some more focus on the basics. There's loads of little annoying default values like this all over the manufacturing workspace.

Hi @mattdlr89 , in machine configuration you can set the output folder. I tested a couple of times and it seemed to work.

Thanks for the post, that's not exactly what I'm after. I want the post to remember the last location used within a project as every project will be saved to different directory.

Setting a location on a per machine basis gets me a little bit closer at least...

Yep, NC Programs is annoying like that. I know they have work planned to address that point. Now that the posting issues have been resolved in the "old" Post dialog, we can set any directory we need, but that's only a fixed location, not the "last used" as you'd hope for.
