Control Definitions - Open, Edit and Save

[Z Feed]

With the pressure of the rotary engraving job now in the rearview mirror, ( or aka completed ) I can begin my experiment on synching my rotary feedrate to  my linear feedrate. To recap, my machine tool has no TCPC, and i was watching about 5-6 different feed rates switch back and forth as it engraved around a 3.125 dia.

Control Definition question: How do I copy and save my current Con. Def. ? more importantly maybe is- where to save it?

I intend to be deliberate with a small change to this definition (switching to "Use Inverse Time" from Degree/min.) but something tells me that I'll need to change a few more things as well, perhaps the Post?

My thinking is to start with MCam first and exhaust changes to it before I dig in on the Haas HRT210 side with parameter changes i recently read about, that I believe are in play too as well... don't exactly want to boil the ocean right out of the chute 

Any help on this matter is appreciated!

Thank you, Kevin

Typically the Control and Machine Definitions are saved in this directory.

C:\Users\Public\Documents\shared Mcam2019\CNC_MACHINES

You can make a back-up copy of your un-edited Control Definition, Machine Definition and Post Processor. Put this in a directory where you can locate it.

Here is a video on how to make a copy  and rename an existing Control Definition, Machine Definition and Post Processor. If you want to rename the changed solution to an new name.
