9. Create a shortcut to the Link.exe file on the desktop of the host PC.

10. At the host computer, create one or more folders in the Parts directory. Copy any part programs that will be accessed

by the CNC in these folders.

For example, to add the folders Workfile 1 and Workfile 2 to the parts directory, the hierarchy of the files would
resemble the following structure:

Path C:\Link\Parts\Workfile 1 and C:\Link\Parts\Workfile 2

Any part programs that will be viewed at and downloaded to the CNC should be placed here. Only the sub folders
Workfile 1 and Workfile 2 and the program files located within them are viewed at the CNC.

Change Master Folder

If the host computer currently has existing part programs and folders, the Link software can be configured to operate with
the current folder names. This master part program folder can be located on the host PC or on another PC that is
networked to the host PC.

The Link software must be located and run on the PC that is connected to the communication cable coming from the
CNC. This is accomplished by configuring the Link software through the Change Master Folder feature to point the
link to the folder that contains the required part programs.

1. Launch the Link software at the host computer to view the Link window.
