control definitions

[kickworm]

I just loaded X2-MR2 onto my computer. In mastercam X i put my tools machines and op libraries on the server instead of the hard drive so that multiple users can map their control def. all from the same place. When i tried to select a certain machine it gives an error saying control def not found loading defaults. I loaded and mapped it in the config file the same way i did in X but it seems not to be reading the machine def. any help appreciated

If you go into Settings/Machine Definition Manager from the main menu bar you can assign the control definition for that machine def. This should be the same as it was done in X.

yes I have tries that and it works but I would like to have it set up when I initially open up mastercam I chose the machine type and said machine def not found loaded default defs.

Mastercam is full of Black Magic so sometimes things do not work as one would expect. I think my next approach would be to make sure the machine def you are using is in the defaults. Go to the main menu bar - Machine Type/ Router (or mill or??)/Manage list and add your machine def to the list. I do not know if this will make any difference but it is the next thng I would try.

Good luck
