This guide will walk you through the process of Adding an Alias in FastCAM MTO so that you can process other people's files correctly.
Step 1: Import files
Run FastCAM MTO, select import and find the files that are required to complete the job.
In this example, NC1 files are required.
Step 2: Verify Files
Once the files are loaded select the Check All icon and all the files that are not in the database will appear in Red.
Step 3: Adding files to the MTO Alias
To add a file to the Alias table, right click on the cell that needs to be added to the Database. The last option on the menu will ask to add an Alias.
Click “Add Alias” and find the best equivalent in the database that matches the file you want to add. Click the checkbox alias and click “OK” now the files will be recognized in the MTO database.
Step 5: Completing the Process
After adding the Alias click check all and all the files that were added to Database will no longer appear in Red.
Repeat Steps 3-5 until all files are recognized in MTO.
