Change default CAM output folder?

Fusion 360 with Tormach PCNC1100 post version 43182

Previous to a few months ago, when I went to post g-code it remembered the last folder I'd been in. That was nice! Then either a Fusion360 update or a Tormach post update broke that, and it goes to the default NC folder each time I export. 

 

Anybody else deal with this? Ideas where to look to change the default?

 

Thanks!

Tom

Hello-

 

We recommend that you use "Create NC Program" under the Setup menu in Manufacture.

This allows you to specify the output directory and it will remember the default directory you set.

Thanks. What's the reason for the difference between NC program and the Post button in the toolbar?

The "Create NC Program" is newer and will eventually replace the older "Post" command.  The NC program gives you more options and is easier to use, in my opinion.
