    v25: Hey...what's this button do?

    Haven't seen this one before.

    Click image for larger version.

    It seems to launch the Editor with the last posted g-code (not necessarily the last computed code)

    (I extracted the icon from the Customize menu)

    That is the same as right clciking in the post manager and choosing "edit cnc".

    Modules-Edit cnc..

    So yes, the last "Posted" code. computed toolpath doesnt change it until "posting again".

    Well crap...for 3 years I've been expanding Cam Part, rt clking on Milling Tools, post/save from there, then rt clk in the Posting field and launching editor from there.

    Who'd a thunk I could do it with one clicky.

    Well, you still have to do the expand cam tree, and post part... The icon just does the launch...

    But thats a great feature request! Have the icon do the post and open to edit in 1 clcik. I wonder if the editor is on it's way out though?
