ChangeFile

This method is used to change the activeness of the Files.

The Files are special items inside the MANUSpost developer and actually point to the NC program files that will be generated after post processing. Therefore, normally we use one file for each post processor. However, you may sometimes need to create multiple Files in multi channel post processors and also in some special applications:

• In multi channel millturns, you may need to create multiple NC programs for each channel,

• You must use multiple Files to write the commands (codes) defined in an NC program at the beginning of that NC program. For example: If you want to list all the feed values and/or cutting tools used in an NC program at the beginning of this NC program, you can do so by defining more than one File.

Files are created and their settings are modified inside “Settings-NC Output Settings”.

ChangeFile method gets one parameter as string, which is the name of the File defined inside “NC Output Settings”. By default, file name gets values like “File1”, “File2” ect, however you can also define file name on your own again inside “NC Output Settings”.

When you activate a new File, new commands and codes are started to be written in this File.
