For my drawing files I'll do something simple like "Elephant bookshelf".
For the toolpath files, I'll do something like this:
Elephantbookshelf.50ply48x96Pocketandprofile.25com pmortTableZero
This tells me:
1- what I'm cutting
2- what material I'm using, how thick the material is, and what the size of the material is that I need
3- what toolpath it is cutting
4- what bit I need to use
5- where to zero the Z.
If I need to use multiple toolpaths and different bits on the same job, I edit #3 and 4 when saving toolpaths in Vcarve Pro to let me know what I need to do next on the same sheet.
Labeling the files this way lets me know what I need to know if I need to do a job I've done before if I'm away from my design computer.
