Vcarve desktop pp Mach 4 inch , would like to change the file extension to .nc in the pp . I changed the name where it showes ".txt " to .nc but it still saves it with the .txt extension ?/

Since you mentioned “.txt” and “.nc” I expect you didn’t change things in the “right” place.

POST_NAME is what I expect you changed. That is mostly informational. The real place to change is “FILE_EXTENSION”. See below.

Code: Select all

POST_NAME = "AXYZ A2MC (inch) (*.nc)"

FILE_EXTENSION = “nc"

Don’t forget to restart Cut2D after making the change.

Thanks , that worked fine . I also would like to eliminate the command that sends the axis to x-0 y-0 at the beginning of a cut file . I always home (zero) my cnc before cutting and that move collides with my dust collection shield that i have put in place after homing .

Thanks

That will be the XH YH line. There is a post processor editing guide on the Help menu that explains what each of the variables do.
