Copy the control definition data from your original control definition to the new control definition

Now that you’ve created a new control definition that points to the post on the network, you need to copy the control definition settings from the original control definition—the one that points to the local copy of the post processor—to the new one. The data that you’ll be copying are the values from all the control definition pages (except for the Operation Defaults page and the Text page).

  1. Go to any data page—for example, Tolerances—and right-click. (Right-click in a gray area, not inside a field.)
  2. Select Import, All pages.
  3. Select the .control file that you copied to the network location and click Open.
  4. Mastercam should now display all of the control definitions in the selected .control file. There should be two that list the same post processor: one that points to the version on your local drive, and one that points to the network location. Select the one that points to your local drive and click OK.
  5. Save the control definition.
