Lost in X

[RACINGCONVERTERS]

First thing,I have edited a post in X but can not associate it with a control definition.

 

Second, I went back to MC9 edited the post the same way. Updated it to X and now it tells me that a program is missing to continue change in control definitions. The file that it shows in header of the dialog box is lathe.set

 

I am trying to find the fastest way to edit a post and the test the post to make sure that it is correct for my machines. There has to be an easy way to do so that I am overlooking. Oh yeah I am real green at editing posts and control defs.

 

Thank You for your help in advance.

Do you have the working with MD-CD.PDF in your documentation folder

Matt,

Where did you find the original post you edited? If it was an installed post, it should have had a control definition and a machine definition associated to it.

Steve,

I got the original post from MC9 and updated it.

I edited by going file,edit/open external, mcamX, lathe, posts.

Is there another way.

Did you change the name of it when you saved it after editing by chance?

[RACINGCONVERTERS]

I got it to work after reading the MD-CD documents. thanks for the help. But I need to make some other changes to the post if i keep the same name will it just update on its own.

If you keep the same names and just change what you want all should be good.

 

Remember to keep copies of all your good MD/CD & posts as well. If you ever blow one up you can then at least replace it.
