User parameters

Is there by any chance a parameter that I can set which will constrain the sub program search of the main program to a folder within the same in closing folder?

▼Main Program Folder/
├── Main Program.cnc
└── ▼ Subprograms/
├── O9401.cnc
├── O9402.cnc
├── O9403.cnc
│ ...
└── O9412.cnc

This would help clean up my NC folder a lot.
Thanks!

Parameter 4 controls the file loading options.

As far as I'm aware there's no way of changing the path it looks at specifically for subprograms.
I believe you're best option would be to call the subprogram as a path.

For example:
"subprogram_test.cnc" is in the ncfiles folder.
"O9102.cnc" is in the subprograms folder which I created inside the ncfiles folder.

Code: Select all

G90 G0 X2 Y5 Z0.5 ; Move to first hole pattern
M98 "subprograms\O9102.cnc" L1 ; Call subprogram O9102.cnc from cncm\ncfiles\subprograms
G90 G0 X4Y1 Z0.5 ; Move to second hole pattern
M98 "subprograms\O9102.cnc" L1 ; Call subprogram
G90 G0 X6 Y5 Z0.5 ; Move to third hole pattern
M98 "subprograms\O9102.cnc" L1 ; Call subprogram
; End program
