Update Mill Post X4 - X8

[eltklas]

I want to update a post from X4 to X8, but I can't select update contol and machine definition. I don't know what's the problem. Am I doing anything wrong?

Thank you for your help...

The postupdate.dll is only for the post. You are on the right path by using that. Go ahead and update your post as you currently have setup. Then place the machine definition (MD) file and control definition (CD) file in the CNC MACHINE folder with the other machines. Open Mastercam and select that machine. It will update the MD and CD as needed. If it does not rename the MD or CD to the new file extension you can do so manually.

If you look under the Files Tab you should see an update utility (these days they call it migration, can't remember when it changed). You can update Posts, MD, CD and other things here individually or together, and load all the updates to a particular folder.

In older versions I could uptade the control, machine and post at same time in the update chook. I dont know why not this one.

I used that for translate MCX files. I will try for the control and machine definition. Thanks. . .
