auto-populating AutoSave file name

I would like to populate the autosave file name from a part number in the toolpath. I currently am reading the part number and revison number to a couple of variables, does anyone know of a way to write those varibles to the autosave file name?

Re: auto-populating AutoSave file name

Hi Blampman.

loaded questions.

check out :

Command line options for VERICUT
and
ADD USER FILES

stick this line in a add user file
IP_AUTOSAVE_FILE   . . . . .IPSFIL   =PN1234_autosav.ip

or

vericut ?usr=part.usr?  "IPSFIL=PN1234_autosav.ip"
I think thats the way

you want to get fancy, you can make adduser files, and manipulate them using stream editers like sed. its a mess. I have not done it since Vericut version 2, but I used do it all the time to make a series of usr files to batch multiple files overnight.

have fun!
