Hi,

I managed to customize a lot of things in the Heidenhain PostProcessor for, but one thing I did not find:

Does anybody know how to manage prompting for Program Number when executing the Post?

An all my programs there is 0001 I need then to manually change.

Thanks

Hi Daniel,
I just re-read your post :-)
It will not prompt. It needs to be entered in the machine setup on the tab shown below. We do not prompt on posting for any post items. They are entered when you specify the machine, post processor, and toolcrib inside of SW CAM.
You turn it on the UPG.

Then when you are in SW CAM, you can adjust it here and it should update the output program number.

  Hi Joy,
  I can confirm this works! Thanks for your very helpful answers. Is it possible to define a program number for each setup or each job? Thanks.

    Hi Daniel,
    It is part specific so you would need to change it before you post the setups.
