The .SMF file is a text file that can be changed with any text editor. The data in the .SMF file is not in the order of the questions within Machine Define. You'd have to change the answer to your question and locate the data string for that question. Then you could freely change it any way you wanted.
Back up first for safety.

Is it possible to change data in the .smf file with a macro in smartcam?
In my case I have a macro that I use with a .pcb panel that lets me choose the machine I'm posting code to (as well as variations of the Code generator for with or without 4th axis attached), I also set the program number which is passed to the processor, name the file ect. I got to thinking today, I regularly wrap profiles for the 4th axis and have to change question #436 to match the circumference which until today I have done by opening Machine Define and doing manually. My question is can I add a data field that would pass the circumference value to the macro and have the macro change the .smf file?

(or if we wanted to get really fancy extract the data from the automatically generated plane that is created when you wrap, and pass that to the macro to change the .smf)
