Mcedit problems

[Charlie Pierson]

I like to use Mcedit for rotating old part code 180 degrees for new or added fixturing. Since Mcam9.x I have problems selecting it as my editor of choice. When I try to edit something I either get CimcoEdit or PFE. Changing the .cfg files and re-assigning them doesn't seem to help, and Mcedit launched on it's own can't seem to find the Hasp.

 

Ant Ideas ?? ??

I had the same problem so what I did to fix it was save in CimcoEdit and made a icon to run Mcedit from the desktop. The one thing you need to be sure of is that your path and working directory for the icon point to where Mcedit is at.

I right_clicked+dragged the Mcedit.exe icon from

Mcam9/Common/Editors/MCED and created a shortcut on my desktop. Checked the paths & working directory and they seemed OK.

I wound up w/ Access Denied 'Mastercam Security Device Not Found' when I doubleclicked the desktop icon

Who is you dealer Charlie I would call them and make sure you got the lastes and greatset patches for Cimco.

 

 

Hey Mike what do you think might help him?

I think I found the problem , or at least a work-around. Mcedit will launch if there are NO spaces in the filename. Otherwise the systen seems to default to either Cimco or PFE

[Glenn Stephens. from CCCS]

That is correct. If you go into MCedit with t.nc for instance you can go to file open and select any filename you like, it will not launch however with a filename with spaces.
