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.
To edit the numbers:-
click on the 'More' box (next to any of the parameters for the sequential
numbers)
The list of shared numbers is displayed.
- Adjust the numbers as required
For example, it can be useful to reset the starting point for numbers or choose a specific starting number.
