File Management

I'm about to overhaul the way we store our PC-DMIS files and was wondering what affect this is going to have on my already posted programs...

The PC-DMIS files will be moved to new folders on the PC. Since the path has been changed, will PC-DMIS still be able to access the program file when an NC probing program is run on my machine?

Any tips or suggestions? I'm hoping this will be a fairly smooth transition...

As Jeep says. I tried this and this was not successful.

If you look in your journal file, there are lines of incomprehensible digits and characters. Because of limitation in the FANUC control, the file location information is stored in binary format. Unfortunate.

Therefore, if you start to muck with location of PC-DMIS, you will have to re-post ALL your programs. Also, you may run into the "magically propagating" probe files, as you try to fix all this.

I gave up and went back to my old "poor" program storage method, not anywhere close to what our blessed oracle from MI professes as the only truth. So yes, it's a mess, but it runs....

If you plunge, let us know how you did!
