To Initialize NC Sequence Parameters
Use one of the following methods to initialize NC sequence parameters:
• If a site corresponding to the type of the NC sequence has been activated (whether by associating it to the workcell or by using the Activate option), it will be automatically used to initialize the parameters. You can retrieve parameters of another site appropriate for the current NC sequence using the Edit > Inherit From Site option on the Edit Parameters dialog box. Note that retrieving site parameters does not activate the site for subsequent NC sequences.
• You can retrieve parameters from an existing site file by using the File > Open Site option on the Edit Parameters dialog box. The browser window opens listing all the files of the type corresponding to the type of the NC sequence. The search is started in the pro_mf_param_dir directory, if set; otherwise, in your current working directory. Select the parameters file name and click Open.

 If the retrieved file contains some parameters inapplicable for the current NC sequence, these parameters will be listed in the Information Window. |
• You can retrieve the set of parameters used for a previous NC sequence by using one of the following options on the Edit menu of the Edit Parameters dialog box. This option is only available after at least one NC sequence has been created.
