Specifying a default configuration for NC programs

Specifying a default loading path for configurations allows users to define which machine configuration is automatically selected upon opening specific NC programs.

To setup a default loading path please follow the steps below or watch the video at the end of the article for more details.

Step 1:

Select the machine from the machine configuration drop down menu that you would like to use as the specific default configuration for NC programs.


Step 2:

In Global Setup, navigate to Load/Save settings and specify a 'Default load path' by clicking on the folder icon located to the right of the 'Default load path' section. Programs from this path opened in the editor with one of the specified extensions will automatically select this configuration, unless other configurations using same extensions are using same default folder.


Step 3:

The default machine configuration will now be automatically selected. It is now possible to simply open the NC program, locate the Backplot tab and select either Backplot or Machine Simulation.
