Add a notes section that can be edited for each file that’s uploaded to the Onefinity. This would be nice to have bit and material size so you can replicate a job easier. Also it would be nice to be able to edit the file names after they are uploaded.
You can add notes to a gcode file as comments. Will this suffice?
Alternatively hold a note elsewhere, so on your phone.
I prefer not to keep gcode but keep the original gcode generating program file. In my case vectric or f360 and regenerate the gcode. My gcode files are transitory things.
If i’m good i keep a text note on what i did and what id do better next time: like a school lab book - but im not very good at it.

It would be great if the post processor put tool name and notes as comments in the GCODE.
I think I read somewhere that you can customise the post processor to do this, but would be great if it was an OOTB capability.
I’ve done this! Here is what I have added to the comments section in my Vectric post processor. It adds the following information. I add tool information about the tool in the tool notes section in the Vcarve tool database that provides me with the maximum cut depth and other tool specific information I might want to know. It eliminates the need to write down notes about how a file is setup or creating complicated file names that indicate which tool to use, etc.
- Material Dimensions
- XY Origin
- Z Origin
- Tool Name
- Tool Notes
- Spindle Speed
- Feed Rate
“%”
“(VECTRIC POST REVISION)”
“([REVISION])”
“%”
“%(Material Dimensions)”
“%(X,Y,Z = [XLENGTH],[YLENGTH],[ZLENGTH])”
“%”
“%(XY Origin: [XY_ORIGIN])”
“%(Z Origin: [Z_ORIGIN])”
“%”
“%( Tool: [TOOLNAME])”
“%(Tool Note: [TOOL_NOTES])”
“%”
“%(Spindle Speed: [S])”
“%(FEED_RATE: [F])”
“%”
I hope this helps!
