You can specify the default location of the folder containing post
processors on the Settings tab of the Technology
Database (TechDB). Under General, specify
Post Processor Path. You do not need to
reselect the post processor for every part or assembly.
When you change the location of the folder
containing post processors and you open a previously programmed part or assembly in
SOLIDWORKS CAM, the following occurs:
- SOLIDWORKS
CAM determines whether the post processor file is available in
the folder for Active post
processor.
If
the folder is unavailable, the software loads the Post Processor Path.
- SOLIDWORKS
CAM searches for the post processor file in Post Processor Path.
- When
SOLIDWORKS
CAM finds the post processor file, it displays the file path
of the post processor file in the Machine
dialog box on the Post Processor tab for
Active post processor.
