Ok, so I migrated all my X5 stuff per JPs pdf instruction sheet.  I get the below error, but I'm allowed to use the OP anyway.  Should I just copy from my X5 folder into a temp folder and migrate again?

I copied all my COM settings over from X5.  Settings in my CD and Settings>Com dialogue are identical.  When I post and click ok, the post status bar completes, then I get the below error.  My CD settings override.

The first error is related to the migration of the Mill Ops from X5 to X6.  In X6 the HS tool paths were only setup to have 1 set of defaults in X6 they have broken them up so each toolpath has it own set of defaults.  You can still use the tool paths however you will get this error every time.  The workaround for this would be to copy the ops from the original install back into the file and then setup your defaults as you need/want them.

As for the second error that's something someone else may have to chip in on as we typically setup communications through Cimco DNC or the editor.

Thanks Chris, I replaced the OPS and no more error.  I also did some digging and COM2 didint exist, so I switched all to COM1 and I'm good.  Thanks again :thumbsup:
