Doesn't matter Tom...

Mine points to the posts from the 2022, 2023 & 2024....

I only have 2024 installed and all other folders cleared out and even after deleting and saving, still there...not a permission issue either...

Definitely wonky

I think I may have found a fairly easy fix for this. Its not too much trouble to just create a new control def, import old settings and then overwrite the old one. I got rid of the extra posts anyway, hopefully I didn't create any new problems. If anybody else wants to get rid of the extra post you can try this:

 

1. Backup all your existing files in case something gets messed up.

2. Start mastercam, click machine, control definition

3. Click New, and Save as a temporary name. 

4. Click one of the "control topics", for example Tolerances. Right click on gray area and choose import, all pages, select the machine definition/post you want to import settings from. 

5. Click Post processor, then add the post you want to use. 

6. Choose the post you added from the drop down menu, then hit save. 

7. Click save as and overwrite the old control file that has multiple posts.
