Cycle Definition text files

[jaydenn]

I'm using 2018 and I'm having an issue with 2 of my seats behaving differently...

One seat will never, ever show the correct "drill parameter text" in the operations. I am under the impression that this info is stored with the control definition? yes? no?

text files have long since been abolished, right?

Here's what happens; My seat of Mastercam works just fine, that is, when I make a drilling cycle, I see all the correct cycles and get all the correct parameters.

I copy all 4 required files (Post.pst, post.psb, machine.mcam-mmd, machine.mcam-control) to the second seat, open a session, and BLAMO... all the drilling cycles are gone. Everything wiped out.

What gives? What am I missing? Why can't I see the cycles on the second machine?

when setting up another station I just copy the common folder " shared Mcam2018" and then a copy of my config to the new station and its usually pretty fast and painless

Putting your shared Mcam folder on a network drive is a good place to start, so that all the associated files only "live" in one place

it is probably the language that windows is using

check to see if it is using Canada English or Us english

open the pst file of the one that is causing you grief

search for language in the file

change the Ca to US or the US to CA in the offending file

save the file

then reload the machine def

Drill Parameter Text is stored inside the Post File. Not the CD. Although, you must use the CD to edit the text strings...

This was it. The second station had the wrong language selected. Easy fix.

Thanks all,
