Binary post file cannot be opened? WTF?

[Bruce Caulley]

Hello all,

Some strange things are happening here. Last week I re-jigged all the machine definitions with ones supplied by Inhouse Solutions so that we didn't have conflicts with our sim-locked posts. All went well. Today I get the following:

 

code:

---

 17 Dec 2005 07:49:49 AM - <0> - Report created.

17 Dec 2005 07:49:49 AM - <2> - Initialize posting log file

17 Dec 2005 07:49:49 AM - <2> - Using MP run version 10.00 and post components version 10.00

17 Dec 2005 07:49:49 AM - <2> - Initiate opening the post processor file(s).

17 Dec 2005 07:49:51 AM - <2> - Post processor file name: T:MASTERCAM XPOSTSDMU_EVOLUTION_TNC.PST

17 Dec 2005 07:49:51 AM - <2> - An encrypted post file is associated with the .pst file.

17 Dec 2005 07:49:51 AM - <2> - Post processor file name: T:MASTERCAM XPOSTSDMU_EVOLUTION_TNC.PSB

17 Dec 2005 07:49:53 AM - <2> - The binary post file can not be opened!

17 Dec 2005 07:49:53 AM - <2> - You chose to continue.

17 Dec 2005 07:49:53 AM - <2> - The application has been aborted!

I tried it on the other pc and get the same thing.

 

Stupid thing is that I posted code 15 minutes ago to post on another thread in this forum. WTF is going on???

I found this info from another dealer in another thread:

Moving machine definitions, control definitions, and posts to a network

By default, Mastercam stores all machine and control definitions in the cnc_machines folder in your Mastercam installation folder. Creating machine definitions in a network location—or creating control definitions based on posts in a network location—is no different than creating them on a local workstation. However, if you need to move a machine definition from a local workstation to a network location, you need to reconfigure it so that it works properly. Complete the tasks outlined below. Click on any task to learn more and see detailed step-by-step instructions.

 

A. Move or copy the machine definition file, .control file, and post processor to the new location.

 

B. In the .control file on the network, create a new control definition which references the network copy of the post processor.

 

C. Copy the control definition data from your original control definition to the new control definition.

 

D. Copy post text to the new control definition (if necessary).

 

E. Delete the original control definition.

 

F. Edit the machine definition so that it points to the network copy of the .control file and the new control definition.

 

Important! Complete all of the control definition procedures in a single session of the Control Definition Manager. If you exit the Control Definition Manager before completing all the steps, you will need to start over from the beginning.

When we supply a machine def/control def/post, they'll all be in the standard c:Mcamx locations.

 

On existing mcx file, replace the machine def.

Thanks Dave.
