Anyone else keep losing custom configs?

[volitan71]

About once a month or so, I open Mastercam (2022, although it happened on 2020 as well) and my custom key bindings and custom ribbon stuff is back to default.

I blamed it on my computer at first but this is a new one and it does the same thing. Pretty frustrating.

Also, if I select more than one circle, hit analyze properties, change the diameter and hit "propagate" there's a 50% chance it's going to crash Mastercam and want to send in a report, but that should be another thread I guess.

Anyone else getting these problems?

Any chance you're using OneDrive for backups?

I know it drove me nuts for the better part of a day trying to figure out why my config and workspace kept defaulting...

In my case it was OneDrive restoring the files after I made changes...

Turned that off, problem solved on my end

I suggest keeping a backup copy of your 'My Mastercam' folder as well as the shared folder containing control and machine defs and posts.

Every time I make a change to my config I back it up.

Thanks! I use OneDrive but not for backups, although I'll double check now to make sure.

I only use it when I want to save something to work on at home. Very few files in there.

I do, thanks to your advice in another thread actually.

I'm just wondering if it's a Mastercam glitch that other people experience or is it a local problem here. Seems pretty regular.
