Making a duplicate of a machine def, with a few slight post changes.

[Joe788]

Our horizontal post is set to output 3 trailing zeros instead of a decimal point on B axis moves - and we just got another horizontal that needs a decimal point. I can probably fumble my way through the format statement to get it back to outputting a decimal, but what's the easiest way to copy an entire machine def/control def/post?

IIRC there is a md/cd/post rename utility at Mastercam.com. Personally if that was the only difference, I would try flipping the output format with a mi switch.

Good call on the MD/CD/Post rename utility. I'd never seen that. Looks like it will work perfect.....except this is an X6 file with 500+ operations that I don't dare open/convert to X7. Anybody have the X6 MD/CD/Post rename utility?

 

I tried installing the X7 version in my X6 directory, but it didn't work. And now my X6 says "X7" on the title bar, even though it's still really X6.

Copy Ur md & CD along with post then rename them. Then go into your renamed CD and import all you settings from your original files after you have changed your renamed post..had to do this couple days ago worked great..
