Not sure I understand the explanation or question.
Save the ones you want to keep to a new library and then delete the old library?
"Open with" that operations library with Mcam.
( basically if you re-name the .OPERATION file to .MCX-5 you can open it like a normal session.
or
open mcam, go to the "Files" page in the op manager and for the operation library, navigate to the directory, and use the ! to open a "mini" op manager to edit that library
.... these choices also apply to the .DEFAULT files so to preset fields to your liking
ie setting the 2D _Contour ( Ramp) and then turning OFF the Linearize helix check mark, then set the 2D Chamfer fields, then set the contour type back to 2D...do this to have the pre-set if you switch to that type
Defaults
When you create a new operation in the op manager, the fields are either preset from a similar previous op ( created in this session) or brought in fron the actual default operation ( I think the last comment is more correct )
You could have a series of Default files setup for the different materials or even machines, ie depth of cuts, stepovers etc say heavy DOC/steps for a BT50 type machine, & very light DOCs + stepovers for a tinny router
Operation Library
where you store (export) previously created ops that could be imported into a new session and only have different geometry to select to get a correct path ( there are additional features that can be used like bring in geometry with the op ----no solid features can be done in this manner )
ie a file that has a series of ops that Spot, Drill, C'Bore, Chamfer & Tap a certain size hole---all you would need to do is add a points to the 1st operation & then drag ( & replace) onto all the other ops then regen,,,you may have to add/delete ops to suit the situation, maybe also Top of Stocks & Depths
