    Adding operation title to post

    I've been trying to figure out how to add the operation name to the post.
    For instance, in my operations tree, I have Roughing Bracket, Finish Profile, etc..

    Other CAM software I've seen automatically inserts the name as a comment to the G code when it is posted.

    Does anyone have a post that does this, or know where in Codewizard I can add it?
    Thanks

    Turn on the "Operation Names" check box when you generate code.

    Thanks for the reply. I thought it should be that easy. I have it checked, but still no names.
    Just for a sanity check, in my Sequence tree, I have four profiling operations that I renamed Rough1, Profile1, Rough2, Profile2. These should end up in the post correct?
    I tried the "Sample Vertical Mill" post as well with the same results. By the way, that post has a real nice machine graphic. I went into CodeWizard and tried modifying the graphic in my post, but even after saving and recompiling, the graphic stays the same and the edits are lost.

    This looks like a nice CAM system, but for advanced as it is, I'm surprised at the number of odd behaviors I've seen, (i.e. changing starting and end point...doesn't matter where you select, it has a mind of its own..)
