Open Dostek DNC File Manager.

Your folders are listed in File Manager's left window. Select a folder to view its files in the right window. With Dostek DNC, you can:

• Create sub folders to organize your files by machine, by product, or by customer.
• Choose which folders are available to CNC operators. Access folders on local hard drives, network drives (mapped drives or UNC names), or removable media.
• Manage files: edit, copy, move, rename or delete files.
• Find files by name, date or content. For example, you can find all files containing a specific part number or tool.
• Customize the layout, fonts and features, including the command buttons displayed at the right edge of File Manager's window.
• Require a password for modifying files or changing settings.

Select a file, and then click Send. The Dostek DNC Communication window opens, and is ready to send the file to the CNC machine.

With Dostek DNC, you can:

• Preview the file before you start sending.
• Customize a pop-up window to remind the CNC operator which commands to use at the CNC.
• Select multiple files, and load them all in a single operation.
• When drip-feeding, automatically restart from the beginning (emulate a tape loop).
• Drip-feed to several CNC machines at the same time (Professional and Ultimate editions).
• Automatically select a communication set-up by matching the file location (folder name) to a CNC configuration.

Go to the CNC machine and execute a program read, input, load, run or start command to load the program into the CNC's memory, or run the program directly from the computer (drip feed).

With Dostek DNC, you can:

• Prepare the transfer before you go to the CNC. The transfer begins automatically; there's no need to get the CNC ready first.
• See the program scrolling on the computer screen as the CNC machine reads or executes it.
• Stop, start or restart anywhere in the file.
