We have revision numbers on our prints. So when saving a program, we usually save it like this : (104122.001 or 104122.002 etc.) The .001, represents the revision.

The problem is that when I save as a .001, it overwrites the original program with no revision number. But it will save with .002 .003 .004 and so on.


[b:d1837a5d2a]EXAMPLE:[/b:d1837a5d2a] When saving as 104122.001, it saves over 104122
Any suggestions ? Thanks

Sorry, I don`t see this.

I created a file called 104122 and then saved a file called 104122.001 into the same folder. I now have two seperate files in that folder.

It did not over write the original 104122 file.

Which version of easyDnc and which operating system are you using ?

I think it may be a windows file association issue. When I save a file without an extension it shows as a windows file. When I save with an extension, it saves as a notepad file, which doesn`t show the extension

Only does it when saving as .001

It does sound like files .001 have been associated with notepad.

This in itself isn`t a problem but windows automatically hides the extension of know file types which can sometimes be little confusing.


Got to `MyComputer` and Open the folder where the files are.

In the menu bar at the top select

Tools>FolderOptions and select the `View` tab.

A list of options with checkboxes appears. One of the options is

`Hide extensions for known file types`.

Uncheck that option.

Click OK and close the window.

You should now see the full file names.
