.NC Program Extension

Need to change .nc to .txt in NC Programs on a mac. Tried posting through Post Process as usual but after this last update theres not route to specify a folder or file name and it just blindly saves the post somewhere.

In your image you don't have a post selected I'm not sure if that is causing you a problem?

 

Otherwise see my screenshot. Name goes in blue (it might have to be a number), and output folder is green. Make sure a post is selected in yellow.

As @mattdlr89  has pointed out to you there is no Post Processor selected, the extension .nc, .txt etc is in the PP so if none is selected then no extension will appear.

So depending on the PP being used if it is already set to output the .txt extension then just selecting the PP will give you the correct .txt extension, however you may have to modify the PP to change the extension output, it is usually near the top of a PP, something like the image beow, I have highlighted in Green the line to change, for example where it has "tap" you would change that to "txt" and save the PP.

Hope that helps some 🙂 🙂
