Editing Nc Data - Siemens Sinumerik 840D sl Function Manual

4.1.3 Editing NC data

General
NC data can be edited by authorized users.
Unauthorized users (e.g. assistants) can view the NC data but cannot save it back
to the database or create a new version. To ensure this, a copy of the NC data is
opened in a temporary folder.
Authorization to edit NC data must be assigned to these users (see also:
Chapter 5 - User administration).
Note
DNC uses the editor used by the Microsoft Explorer for each file type.
New file types must be assigned to an editor via Microsoft Explorer.
Editing/saving files
All the NC data in the current directory can be opened for editing. Either a new
version is created or the old version overwritten in the directory of the original file
when saving, depending on the configuration in the DNCGLOBALSETTINGS
database table (parameter: NewVersionAfterEdit).
Note
To ensure that data is processed appropriately for DNC, only the Save and Exit
menu options of the editor selected by the user should be used. All other
functions can be used, but do not have any effect on the MCIS database.
The menu option Save As, in particular, does in fact create a file with the
specified name in the specified directory, but no link is created to the database. In
this case, the old file remains unchanged in the database.
Delete Version dialog
If the maximum number of versions as defined during parameterization is
exceeded, a dialog is displayed in which you can delete an existing, unreleased
version.
