I am new at programming .net, and not so good at others but I try. I would like to hard code the machine definition. I want to click once and be done. I have accomplished this in VBS, but only if there is one machine group. The logic I would follow in VBS: code: Def Counter Def MachineDef Counter = 1 Do While Counter < 6 'five machines If Counter = 1 then MachineDef = "C:....Bosto.MMD ElseIF Counter = 2 then MachineDef = "C:....Okuma.MMD 'and for 3 more End IF ' What you can do in your .NET API ' but setting the active machine to ' The MachineDef String and then PostAll() Counter = Counter + 1 Loop I'm sure that logic is clear as mud, and there is likely better ways, but I am open to any suggestions if you have the time.

We have all of our different ops, in seperate machine groups, so one machine can do the front and one can do the back etc, but most of the time it goes to the same machine for all the ops. I would like to change every machine group operation to the same machine definition at once. Eventually working up posting for all, but the post all script looks like it has one machine def. and the .pst changes. We are set up for seperate machine deg, and .pst. If there is better ways then let me know by all means. Thank you.

Yes, exactly.

Is there a way in VBS to change all the machine definitions in a file at once?

Thank you. The vbs help file shows it like this:"listed in the Mastercam .ftt file following the function cpp command"

Where can I find the mastercam.ftt file? I did a search, but found nothing.

Thank you. I thought that was it, but with no formal training I did not know for sure.

This may sound dumb, but here it goes. We go to the machine group properties and to file and change the machine def. to whatever machine we want to post to, but in the developers forum it seems as if the .pst file is changed, but not the MD to post. What is the difference and when should either one be used?
