Multiple MC configs


So not a Guru

Is it possible to create multiple MC configurations?

I'm going to start training one of our operators to program. I use a modified configuration; custom RMB, background colors & gradients, keyboard shortcuts etc.

Since he's going to be practicing with HLE at home, I would like to train him with the default setup.

Is it possible to save a couple of files or folders in a safe location that I can reload to change the configs back & forth?

It "used" to be able to.....been a long time since I tried...

"C:\Program Files\Mastercam 2023\Mastercam\Mastercam.exe" /noL /noW / noT "john.config"

That's the commmand if memory serves me with the config call at the end

 

Just copied my config......renamed john.config.

Started Mastercam and it loaded the config..

Can only have thew 1 workspace though

you will need to create a batch file that copies one of the 3 workspace files to the \config\mastercam.workspace. 

I'm not very good with this, it seems like it should be fairly straight forward, but I'm doing something wrong. I created a couple of folders, with copied files in them, on my desktop to try it out and made this batch file:

@ECHO
copy C:\Users\Zeke Radford\Desktop\from_here\Zeke.config C:\Users\Zeke Radford\Desktop\to_here\Zeke.config
copy C:\Users\Zeke Radford\Desktop\from_here\Mastercam.Workspace C:\Users\Zeke Radford\Desktop\to_here\Mastercam.Workspace
copy C:\Users\Zeke Radford\Desktop\from_here\mcamx.config C:\Users\Zeke Radford\Desktop\to_here\mcamx.config
copy C:\Users\Zeke Radford\Desktop\from_here\mcamxm.config C:\Users\Zeke Radford\Desktop\to_here\mcamxm.config
PAUSE

But when i run it I get "The system cannot find the file specified." on each line.

Any idea what I'm missing?

Never mind, I figured it out. The path has to be in quotes if there are spaces in it.

Just now, JParis said:

Try this..notice the quotes

copy "C:\Users\johnp\Documents\My Mastercam 2023\Mastercam\CONFIG\mastercam.workspace" "C:\Users\johnp\Desktop"

I just realized that too. I hadn't noticed the space in my username
