Default ID for unique features

[ShankCrusher]

Is there a way to keep default ID's for each type of feature in a program.

Example, I program 15 holes ...Hole_1, Hole_2....ect

Then I program a slot, default the ID to SLOT_1

Go back to programming holes and keep circle features at Hole_3 instead of SLOT_2.


I swear this function worked on another station, but I cant seem to find where the setting is.

I know that menu.......

but if Im working on a hole, and that is the default ID......HOLE_01

Im going to work on an edge point, its telling me HOLE_02

Is there a way to keep working on each feature type, without overwriting the default ID.

I swear this was working before or im going crazy. Its not working as intended at the moment.

Make sure you select "By type" and not "Generic" in the ID setup. Then you can specify different names for different types.

Maybe someone clicked yes to "Make this the default ID?' and then clicked "Do not show this message again." Have you checked your warnings under F5 / General?

Selecting by type worked. Thanks guys.
