CAM -Automatic naming of post files from setup/operation/tool/part/previous post

CAM -Automatic naming of post files from setup/operation/tool/part/previous post

When Selecting Post Process in CAM,  the Program name/number and Program Comment of the PREVIOUS Post always shows up in these fields, even when the CAM Setup Operation for the current Post has it's Program Name and Comment fields filled in.  It is error-prone and time consuming to always have to manually change the Post Process Dialog fields for Program name/number and Comment from the previous CAM Post operation to the current one.  Why have the CAM Setup Operation option for this Program name/number and Comment if they aren't going to automatically override the current Post Process fields?  After all, it appears this Setup Operation Feature is intended fro that very purpose to help prevent users from inadvertantly overwriting a previous CAM with the wrong Program Name/Number and Comment.

If you select\highlight a setup and select post it works how you'd expect, it uses the name and comment from the setup. Where it doesn't work is if you select an op and post, then it uses the last name and comment. This is how it works on my PC don't know if it's different on a mac.

Still would be nice if it worked either way.
