I just did a test. If you create your “Master.c2d” file, you can open it in CM without ever selecting “Save Toolpaths”. It behaves exactly the same if you “Save Toolpaths” then use that file.
So, for my example I won’t even bother with the “Save Toolpaths” button. I’ll just modify the geometry to suit my current job, save it, then open it with CM & machine it. It will always be in the last state that I save it.
If I create a very common size that I think I will use again (13x13, for 12x12 jobs. Or 9x11.5 for 8 1/2 x 11 jobs) I can just save those from CM as G-Code.
“Save GCode File” in CM is giving an error if the file doesn’t already exist. If you create an empty text file, then save to it, it works fine. But the save file dialog still says “Open”, so perhaps the file manager is in the wrong mode. Save should let you create a new file, where Open would expect an existing file.
Huge problem with those of us that like to verify our Gcode before going to the machine. Now I have to send it out to the shop, walk there, start the machine, connect to the machine, open the file, output as GCode, transfer back to my office, walk back inside, verify the code, and if I make any modifications to the CC file, repeat that whole process. Not Cool!!!
