Rename toolpath operations

Hi,

 

In the company we still work with single NC programs.

 

Each toolpath has a NC file.

 

In powermill we can rename all toolpath at once

With macro.

 

I want to achieve some thing like

 

Operation-01

Operation-02

Operation-03

Operation-xx

 

The same aplies to NC program.

 

I need to the rename NC program 

 

Another question?

Is it possible to select all toolpaths and create One NC program for each toolpath selected?

 

Thanks on advance

For the renaming, this is likely possible using the API and a script/addin. That's about the extent of what I can suggest and anything more is beyond my knowledge.

 

As for the "select all toolpath and create one NC Program", the answer is you certainly can do this.

I belive OP wants ONE NC code PER tool(path), but done automatically from selecting the setup.

I would just use a shortcut, select T1, CTRL P, click ok. Select T2, CTRL P, change name to 002, click ok. etc

I think he's asking for this functionality from PowerMILL. I have the same question. I'm sure someone can write a script. We just need to be nudged in the right direction.
