Hi
I switched my PC setup a bit and are postprocessing all my TAP files to a drive on my NAS that I have mapped on the PC that runs the AVID EX software. Whenever I open a file in AVID CNC it tries to copy it on the local drive, if the file name already exists it promts for overwrite or rename. Since I do not have a keyboard on this PC I am stuck there. Can I either turn off this prompt or the copying to a local drive?

I noticed this also. Once I changed to generating my nc file directly to the ncfiles directory on the machine computer, I no longer get this prompt when reloading the same nc file name.
Not the answer to your question, but here’s my process: On my CAD/CAM machine I map a drive to the Avid CNC PC, and post process to a folder on that machine. If it would overwrite the same name, I deal with it on my CAD computer (running macOS) and not the CNC computer.
Thank you corbin. That was my old setup but now I have multiple machines and in Fusion and I do not want to change the network drive there every time I do a post process. And I really would hate to connect a keyboard jut to permanently press the O key….
This is a safety feature that’s on by default in CNC12. This applies to not only your setup, but cloud drives like Google Drive.
There are ways around it, you can mess with parameter 4 (Utility Menu/Advanced Config/Parms from the main screen)
This is a “bitwise” parameter. I would get familiar with those. You can find information on that, and this particular parameter in this doc: https://www.centroidcnc.com/centroid_diy/downloads/operator_manuals/centroid-cnc12-router-operator-manual.pdf
I think if you change parameter 4 to 26 you will get what you want, but I am not 100% on that.
