CAM -Automatic naming of post files from setup/operation/tool/part/previous post

[rumpelstielz]

When posting CAM files one always has to manually enter file names which is a very tedious process, it would be a HUGE timesaver if the post files would automatically take on the name of the CAM operation. When working on a part with a lot of operations i usually name my operations so i don't get lost .. whenever i export a post it's really getting on my nerves to have to retype the names.

Even better would be if there was a way to automatically name the posts by using the setup name, tool used, parts involved or even the previous name used. This could be setup in preferences somewhere where you would define a default 'parametric' way of naming posts, for example: PartName_SetupName_ToolNumber_ToolDiameter_OperationType.nc

Here's one example of how i name my operations, if these names were automatically used it would cut down the time a lot:

You can do this with the API.

that might be so but i'd wager that like for me for probably 99% of the fusion users the API is about as helpful as a chinese version of fusion with a Swahili interface

According to this overview: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6vUEJ5Iy2AQ the CAM workspace is not supported by the API.
