@engineguy  The reason I don't like the NC Program method is everything I do is a one off so I just reuse files on my USB drives. I have machines setup I use in my setups so all setting and where I want to save to are set, I hit Post then select the file I want to save over on the USB stick. Using the NC Programs I have to type in a name each time, if all goes well I'll never post the same NC Program again.

 

Now I do see advantages as sometimes I post from one setup to 2 different machines so the extra effort of using NC Programs could be helpful as I could have 2 NC Programs using different posts. Problem is I might end up with 25 setups and 50 NC programs. I've asked for folders under the Setup folder for years but I guess not enough people end up with lots of setups to see the benefit.:persevering_face: Not saving the NC programs seem like the worst of both worlds!
