If I can have multiple control definitions inside a single .control file, how does the Control Definition Manager manage them?
A. Each control definition is tagged or defined by the product type and the post processor assigned to it. For example, if you have fanuc.pst, the same .control file can have separate control definitions for Mill-fanuc.pst, Lathe-fanuc.pst, Router-fanuc.pst, and so on. If you add a new post, you can then add another group of control definitions linked to it. This gives you a great deal of flexibility to manage control definitions and post processors in the way that makes the best sense for your shop. Large shops with many machines and controls can use control definitions to efficiently manage many post processors across many platforms, while a smaller shop might need only a single control definition in a single .control file.
