Shopbot post wont't stay changed in mastercam

[dave]

I have loaded the post from this site into Mastercam 7.2 by using the Mastercam utility menu etc. It still loads mpfan post after changing. I can then use utility to change it and it works but next time I restart Mastercam it reloads mpfan post. I have tried to delete mpfan files from pst folder. It then gives 3 error messages before loading. I also have changed the number 91 question on all files etc. with no change in results. Any suggestions?

Dave,
You will have to set MPSHPBOT.PST as the default post in Screen-Configure and make sure that you save the configuration.

You can delete MPFAN or leave it there. Mastercam will look for that post if the default configuration file has been deleted or corrupted.

Are the 3 error messages about not being able to find the post?

Question 91 should be left as MP which is a DLL or EXE in Version 7 that is what makes the post processing occur.

Make sure that you are running 7.2C since that was the verion the post was originaly written for.
