    Separate nc file for each operation

    Hi guys
    Is it possible to automatically generate separate nc file for each operation?


    As you can see on the screen there is a couple of operations on each sheet.
    Please help.

    Just turn off all but the ones you want, and export the .nc files.

    Hi ger21
    Thx for fast reply. Your right. But for me it's difficult because sometimes I have 20-30 operations on each sheet. For now i'm generating one file witch all ops and then manually separating them to each file. It's realy time consuming.

    Yes,
    you can create some simple VBA macro for this. Or if you want output only sheet by sheet it is possible by using Alphacam function split nested sheet, but this need some postprocessor changes (if you have not it).
