make sure to read the info box..

you need to uninstall X6, reinstall, then apply the MU1 upgrade

[Jeremy Herron@DBS Solutions™]

Are you sure about that G? I did not read it that way.

If a customer has X6 Installed:

·       No uninstall of X6 is necessary, X6 MU1 will be installed over the topof X6

[JParis]

No you don't, if you uninstall MU1, like X5 you'll have to reinstall X6 again

[gcode]

My mistake... a non beta user does not have MU1 installed yet..

so you just run the MU1 upgrade.

If you need to uninstall X6MU1, it takes X6 with it and you'll need to reinstall X6


After installing MU1, look in Add/Remove Programs in the Control Panel..

It still says X6...

[Rickster™]

Create a system restore point and call it 'before X6 MU1'

then instal the MU1 update.

This has never failed me yet when an MU update fails or has issues.

Mastercam X6 MU1 64-bit

Use this product to install Mastercam X6 MU1 on a 64-bit operating system. It will not run on a 32-bit OS.

This install is designed to run on top of Mastercam X6. If X6 MU1 is uninstalled, X6 must be installed again. All personalized files in My Mcamx6 and Shared Mcamx6 are left behind, so this should not cause any loss of data. Regardless, be sure to back up your data as a precautionary measure.

To uninstall Mastercam X6 MU1, go to Control Panel > Programs and Features (Add/Remove Progams in Windows XP) and select Remove next to the Mastercam X6 icon.

This version will not expire. You must have a maintenance date of February 29, 2012 or later to run this release. The version number of Mastercam.exe is 15.1.1.1.

To install:

    Click on the mastercamx6-mu1-x64-web.exe link and save it to your computer.
    Double-click on the *.exe.
    Follow the installation instructions.

Is there a place where they have the bug fixes listed?  Or should we assume that everything works correctly now?

I'm running the latest Moldplus on Mu1

Is X+ working with new updates ?

[Brian @ PM Mold]

It is for me.

[uncle_dolan]

Still havent made the jump to X6 yet as we have X5 working well for us at the moment, and there was a lot of negative feedback about the first release of X6. Could you guys post feedback about MU1 regarding all your issues and whether it is a stable reliable piece of software to upgrade to? Many thanks! Brendan
