Save each toolpath to a seperate gcode file?

Post by slc » Mon Jan 11, 2021 7:40 pm

HI, new user here, is there a simple process to save one toolpath to its own gcode file so each toolpath can be in a seperate file.
I managed to do this somehow but it was clunky and will surely result in an error sooner or later.

In the toolpath widget, where all toolpaths are listed, you can hide individual toolpaths using the eye icon. Hidden toolpaths are not exported. Here, only toolpath "Profile 1" will be exported:

Many thanks, that must be what I did, but forgot to change the file name first. An easy way to do this with a right click on the toolpath would be good
