I think the interest of PTC in these instances is to try to make sure that if a solution was provided, the original question asker marks the correct solution. This makes it easier for people in the future who might be asking the same or a similar question. They will not have to sift through what could be many posts, but instead will be given the one that is judged to be right. Helpfully, when a response is chosen as the correct one, it is repeated below the original question and marked to show it is the solution.

Hello Federico,

What type of NC Sequence are you trying to split?

Are you using GPOST?

There are a couple columns you can add to the process manager that you might find helpful:

Machining Distance

Machining Time

Hi Bryant, we are working a large piece of granite and we have necessity
to split the ncl file every three hours to measure the lenght of the
tool because  milling the granite cause the changement of the tool
lenght. I'm using the volume rough feature.

Best regards,

Federico

Not exactly the question you asked, but have you considered automatic tool length measurement? This could automate those manual operations. If your control has macros, it is not hard to add a tool probe to your machine. We have used Marposs with good success on Haas controls with no OEM tool setting capability.
