extract toolpath folder in project folder

HI, There !

I'm exploring through a macro that must create folders in "Nc programs" explorer.
Folders are already in "Toolpath" explorer.

And these "Nc programs" folder must be created in Project > Ncprograms.

I'm working on this code below ...........

// macro start ===========

STRING $dirpath = project_pathname(0) + "/ncprograms/" MKDIR $dirpath EXPLORER SELECT TOOLPATH ROOT STRING LIST TPFOLDERS = get_folders('TOOLPATH') FOREACH tp IN TPFOLDERS { CREATE FOLDER project_pathname(0) + '\ncprograms\' $tp }

can someone add their idea, where I'm wrong.

Thank you !

Thanks for replying,

With your code It extract folders from "toolpath" to "nc program".

That's fabulous.

But, even after so many attempt I'm unable to create those folder in project > ncprogram (folder)

Thanks again !

Hello,

you have to save your project and run the "02_folder_matching.mac". Afterward when you write your NCPROGRAM it will be written in the same position (tree) in ncprogram file.

I had the same problem before, but I have solved it, I hope you can use it

STRING $dirpath = project_pathname(0) +"/ncprogram"+"/"
MKDIR $dirpath
EXPLORER SELECT TOOLPATH ROOT

STRING $path = project_pathname(0) + "/ncprogram"
MKDIR $path

EDIT NCPROGRAM ALL FOLDER PROJSELECTOR $path

NCGLOBAL APPLY
NCGLOBAL ACCEPT
