How should I organize a long DNC-Max machine list so operators send to the right CNC?

Direct answer

Replace a long, flat machine list by enabling groups in the DNC-Max port list. Create group names that match how the shop works—such as a department, machine type, cell, or location—and assign each machine port with Change Group. A group can include several controls in one cell, and a machine can have more than one port when primary and backup connection methods are used.
