def and post files

[Lee.]

Hello All,

 

since moving to X3 I am having difficulty with one of my machine defs/posting.

 

Can someone tell me what files are used in total for posting.

 

I have tried re-naming the mach def, control def, and post but still gives greif.

 

Is there a number of files I am missing?

 

Thanks in Advance.

Lee,

 

You should have the machine def, it is connected to the control def which in turn is connected to the .pst file. If there is an associated .psb file that will go into the same folder as the .pst file.

 

What kind of problems are you experiencing?

[Lee.]

lots of errors, change of post variables and somehow a screwed up nc file.

 

if I use another machine I have no probs.

 

so I wanted to take all those files and change the name to the one I am having probs with.

 

make sense?

Lee,

 

are you talking about stuff in the .err file, like this?

Those aren't errors, perse, it is your post being reset to the values that are in your control def.

 

How is the nc file being "screwed up"? What is coming out wrong?

[Lee.]

Those are the errors, or close to, that are being generated.

 

However the screw was severe in the machine cut into the solid and so I filled back in, then posted with another def and all was ok.

 

I didn't do a compare of the two files though.

 

The machine didn't lose psition either so it was the NC file.

 

ideas?

Lee,

 

Comparing the 2 files to see what is different should give us a better idea of what might be going on.

 

Tough to trouble shoot, when we don;t know what is different.
