PARAMETER-SAVE
Saving parameters
specifically for a
project
All parameter and tool settings can be stored in files using the SAVE
menu item. It is possible to save the settings for a working file or for
a project.
The Save function operates as follows : When a working file is
loaded, WinPC-NC stores all workpiece-related settings such as the
zero point, scaling, etc. in a parameter and tool file associated with
the working file. The files have the same name as the working file,
with the endings*.WPI and *.WPW, z.B. HOLDER.WPI or
ENGRAVING.WPW.
Whenever these working files are loaded in the future, all the settings
and tools are once again available without having to be redefined.
The machine-related parameters such as axis resolution, reference
directions or the interfaces used are always stored in the standard
parameter file WINPCNC.WPI.
If no working file is selected when you save, the Save function stores
all settings in the default files WINPCNC.WPI and
WINPCNC.WPW.
