nc_param.txt & art_param.txt

Hi All,

Currently the Drill Parameters are saved by default to the text file nc_param.txt, while the Artwork Parameters saved by default to art_param.txt.

However, from within the "NC Parameters" dialog window (MANUFACTURE -> NC -> NC Parameters) it is possible to choose another text file (i.e. with different file name) to load the drill parameters. 

1) From within a .brd file. Is there any command that returns name of the NC Parameters text file?

2) Is it possilbe to for Artwork Parameters to be saved and refers to another artwork parameter filename (instead of the defaule art_param.txt)?

 Thanks All

 ** I'm trying to include within the skill code an option for user to load from a number of predefined artwork and drill parameters file

     I am no SKILL expert but here's how I did something like that.  When the user selects the option, I create a script file with the appropriate commands based on the user's selection and execute that script and then delete the script.

     That is very trivial -- hopefully the experts can give you a more precise answer.
