Program List

[Anonymous]

Hello how can I make a macro with the program list, where I select the programs in which I want to rewrite.
I was trying to do this, but this error is returning.

ENTITY LIST $Selected_ncprogram = INPUT ENTITY MULTIPLE ncprogram "Select program"

FOREACH $tp in ProgramNames {
ACTIVATE NCPROGRAM $tp.Name
KEEP NCPROGRAM
}

EXPLORER SELECT NCPROGRAM root

follows the macro

This error occurs because your macro is not selecting any NC program in the Powermill explorer.
Try this:

ENTITY LIST $Selected_ncprogram = INPUT ENTITY MULTIPLE ncprogram "Select program"
EXPLORER SELECT NCPROGRAM root
FOREACH $nc in $Selected_ncprogram {
	STRING $full_path = pathname('ncprogram',$nc.name)
	EXPLORER SELECT NCProgram $full_path TOGGLE
}
EDIT NCPROGRAM SELECTED TAPEOPTIONS FILEOPEN "C:\Users\Rodolfo\Desktop\Haas.pmoptz"
KEEP NCPROGRAM SELECTED YES

EDIT NCPROGRAM SELECTED TAPEOPTIONS FILEOPEN "C:\Users\Rodolfo\Desktop\Romi.pmoptz"
KEEP NCPROGRAM SELECTED YES

EXPORT SETUPSHEETS NCPROGRAM ALL

Hi

The error that @Anonymous gets is not because there is no selection, but because of the query that appears tor overwrite the nc files.

never the less the solution from @rafael.sansao solves that issue, and solves the problem if you select ncprograms in a folder.

thank you @rafael.sansao 😉
