Naming Operations

[Bob La Londe]

I neat feature IMO, would be to allow to quickly copy style name to MOP name.  A one click feature. 
(Still allow custom naming if desired.)

I now have a lot styles save in my library and now often I find the most time consuming part about several portions of setting up a job is going back and naming the operations manually.  Often the name of the style would be more than adequate.

D Drill Pins Std Depth
1/4 SE Drill Pin Lead
F Drill Pin Clearance Std Depth
1/2 Spot Drill Pin Chamfer
21 Drill Screw For Thread
7 Drill Screw Clearance
1/2 Spot Drill Screw chamfer
10-32 Thread Mill Standard depth

Those are style names that allow me to quickly pick a style from the library.  They are adequate for naming any MOP where I use them as well.

For example, when you create a tool it automatically creates the tool name from the tool parameters unless you have manually entered a tool name, and you can change the tool name at any time if you need to. 

When you create a MOP and select a style it could automatically name the MOP unless you have manually changed it.

Trying to keep .cb files nice and clean with descriptive names for layers, parts, MOPs and it would be great time saver to have tool-like naming possibilities for MOPs as well. Scrolling in MOP details can be very annoying sometimes.

For example, I settled with following naming conventions that work for me:
Profile - Outside- T6.0mm - 10mm
Drill - Canned - T3.175mm - 12mm
Pocket - T5.00 - 6mm

Adding variables to MOP naming with automatic name update would be just great. As many variables as possible to make it useful for everyone´s specific needs...

Bob,

At what level are you selecting the Style, Machining level, Part level or MOP level ?
I'm guessing MOP level.

[Bob La Londe]

At the MOP level.
