Question:

We have just switched from V20 to V2017i. We cannot use the format of the NC files that is created in the newer version and have no way to change our software settings to accommodate this new file format.  Is there any way to switch the phase to come before the drawing number like it was previously or do we need to enter the hundreds of beams manually and switch back to version 20 after these jobs are fabricated?  

Answer:

You can arrange the order of the output by going to the Header options inside the NC Files properties and selecting the Phase identification under the Selected elements options. Once selected you can move the Phase up in the order of the desired location. You can save it as a standard so you can use the same file for future projects. Once the settings are saved as, they go in the model folder's > attributes folder with the extension name .nch.
