Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] RE: Cutviewer program - file renaming

Yes....when you set a file to "open with" under windows, if the "always open
with" box is checked, then the machine will try always open any file with
that file extension with the program you had previously selected.

There's a rinky dink way of getting around this....I'd have to look it up in
one of my tech books.
