control nesting
I wish I was able to name my files when you write your cnc code before it writes it. Some times when I have jobs with the same names in them it writes the cnc files over another existing one.

I get this problem a lot, to get around I use the flie browser to rename the first cnc file before doing the second nest. Sometimes just by adding \"old\" of \"first\" after the file name. That way the second nest will write a new file and I can get the old file back if I need to.
i.e.
\"Customer.cnc\" rename to \"Customer Old.cnc\"
Handy if I get an error and a renest fixes it, I still have the old corrupt file to send the Thermwood for them to look at.
