it nor mentions it, and the first word about it is a warning raised when the meshed geometry is

first needed. A side file named as a reference is the other case altogether: when the machine

chain, the spindle capability, a material or a cutting parameter set is not where the project file
|

says it is, the load fails outright — no project opens, and the failure is reported as an error
|

rather than as a diagnostic beside a successful load. Where a load does succeed with a hole, the

message is the only thing that says otherwise, and it is not kept where a run's messages are kept:

each as a path, and nothing on the save side copies the file. Nothing rewrites those paths either,
