Recent "feature" - NC Programs list expanded by default

[TJS01]

I appreciate the new NC Programs list in the Manufacturing environment, but is there a good reason why it is expanded by default?  Can I change this?  I don't need to be reminded how many times I have post processed.

This is what I am greeted with upon opening the current project I've been working on.

Hi @TJS01, You can choose not to create the NC in the browser. 

On the other hand, If you look at this YouTube there is a workflow where you are simply updating the existing NC file.

Edit: That video didn't really go into how the workflow happens, but if you right click the NC program and click post it will push out a new program with the same set-up. Look HERE  or more info.

Thank you @Joshua.Aigen this is exactly the info I was looking for!

Hi, I also wish that the NC Programs wouldn't expand itself all the time (on reopening a file). It's a small thing but it's one of those paper cut things. The list gets very long and it takes a bit of time to scroll all the way up to close it.

Are you intentionally creating many NC programs, or just one for each Setup? You can choose not to create new NC Programs each time if you prefer, there's a radio button at the bottom of the Post dialog that controls this.

It would be nice to have a an option to create singles NCs

In powermill, I select 10 toolpath, and create NC, and 10 NC appears 

In our company we have a lot of old machines and I need to send single files.

@nubrandao there are ways of editing a Post Processor to output files for individual tools or operations.

No, I'm definitely gonna turn off the creation of the NC Programs.

Still, isn't it a bug to expand something that was collapsed before, without the user doing anything?

[nubrandao]

Can you help me with that?

I'm using Fidia and Heideian original post processor from fusion library.

The only way I found  was by a script that separate one NC file into multiple NC files 

But I don't like to run the script, it crashes a lot of time
