6.9.7 Copying/inserting
Function
This section tells you how to copy files from a source directory to an
existing destination directory.
Except when overwriting workpieces, the files are copied from the NC
program memory or from the hard disk to:
Hard disk (HD) or
NC memory (NCK) or
Buffer or
Diskette (is specified as network drive) or
Network drive (Network1 to Network4)
All directories with the exception of compile cycles can be copied to
the destinations specified above.
Copy/insert
Several selected files or workpieces can be copied together in a single
operation.
When copying workpieces:
All associated files are copied too.
All files with the workpiece name are
automatically renamed to the new workpiece name.
Files from the Workpieces directory can only be overwritten
in another directory.
All workpiece files of type .WPD can be copied from
one drive to any other drive.
Specify the file name and
file type
Copying from network drives:
All data types known to the HMI are set according to their
extension and the data management scheme.
A dialog box is opened for files with an unknown extension.
You can enter or change the name and file type -
up to 3 characters are permissible.
If a file of the same name is already stored on the hard disk or in the
NC memory, a dialog box prompts you to change the name and file
type. If the source file and destination are identical, the existing file is
not overwritten. The copy operation can either be canceled or an
integer is added to the existing file name in ascending order.
