Edit shared control files

 

System parameter option to change the numbering for runs, estimates ...

 

Where there is more than one user (either users on a network or users with different folders on the same computer) it is often useful to co-ordinate processes where a sequential number is used for when naming optimised runs, orders, offcuts, tracking parts etc. This is controlled by the system parameter: Path for shared control files. If this parameter is set (contains a path) the parameters used for numbering are locked and the numbers are controlled by the program. A 'More' box is shown against the relevant parameters.
