Hi ! @newgentooling

You can try this if it can help you ....

STRING $dir1 = 'ABCV-01'
STRING $dir2 = 'AXCN-02'
STRING $dir3 = 'BGHP-03'
STRING $dir4 = 'BLPR-04'

STRING $dirpath = project_pathname(0) + "\ncprograms\" + '$dir1'
MKDIR $dirpath

STRING $dirpath1 = project_pathname(0) + "\ncprograms\" + '$dir2'
MKDIR $dirpath1

STRING $dirpath2 = project_pathname(0) + "\ncprograms\" + '$dir3'
MKDIR $dirpath2

STRING $dirpath3 = project_pathname(0) + "\ncprograms\" + '$dir4'
MKDIR $dirpath3

OLE FILEACTION "OPEN" $dirpath

Cheers ,

I stumbled upon this by accident.

But if you use a forward slash (/) in your output name, you will create a subfolder within the NC program..

I hope this helps..

Hi !

Otherwise you can use it this way also

//macro will create required number of folders with required name.
INT $nFolder = INPUT "Enter the number of folders"
INT $count = 0

//This will create folder in your toolpath explorer

WHILE $count < $nFolder {
STRING $folder = INPUT "Enter the folder name"
STRING $path = 'NCProgram\' + $folder
IF NOT folder_exists($path) {
CREATE FOLDER "NCProgram" $folder
}

//This will create folder in your ncprograms explorer

$path = 'Toolpath\' + $folder
IF NOT folder_exists($path) {
CREATE FOLDER "Toolpath" $folder
}

$count = $count + 1

//This will create folder in your project directory ncprogram folder
STRING $dirpath = project_pathname(0) + "/ncprograms/" + '$folder'
MKDIR $dirpath

}
