Hello farooq,

Did you face any problem while installing mastercam. I mean did it show some error or something.

[cadist]

Farooq, If you upgraded to mastercam 9.1 there must be a zip file in commonicon folder unzip it there.

HTH

BTW welcome to forum

You may want to get in touch with your dealer Monday morning. In the meantime.....

 

Have you moved or renamed the folder you had

Mastercam in???

Your config file is screwed up and Mastercam doesn't know where to find stuff.

Close Mastercam

go to the folder where you have Mastercam installed, find the file named "mill.cfg"

and delete it. Do the same your lathe.cfg and

design.cfg.

 

If you did a metric install the file names are millm.cfg, lathem.cfg and designm.cfg

 

Then open Mastercam again. It won't be able to find "mill.cfg" and wil automatically create a new one with the correct file paths.

You will loose any custom settings you have made.

You can also go to Sceen/Config/Files and change

all the file paths by hand.

Also, you could try running 'Repair' from the install disk.

Just curious....

Who is your dealer anyway??

[Jack Mitchell]

Try cutting mill.cfg and pasting this to your desktop. Of course, you must not have Mastercam active while doing this.

Then click on the Mastercam icon and see if it self configuers the missing file.

 

Regards, Jack

2pac,

 

This is a direct result of installing the software in a directory name with punctuation. When you installed the software, did you place it in a directory named C:/ mcam9.1 ? The period (.) is the punctuation which is messing up the whole path where Mcam reads the icons from. Mastercam is using Windows naming conventions to allow it to read certain files in certain directories. The paths that are specified for it to find the icons don't have any punctuation in their names. When there is any punctuation in the directry tree, this causes the confusion.

 

This was an issue when Mcam V8.1 was released and many users installed their software in a directry named mcam8.1, leading to a naming convention error. The best way to avoid this is to never include any periods (.) in the directory name. Use an underscore (_) instead, such as mcam9_1, or nothing between the numbers (mcam91). HTH Welcome to the forum. BTW, performing a Search through the topics of this forum, using the link above, may have led to many previous topics with the same issue and the solution.

I've seen this happen before. If your in Windows Explorer and you accidently drag the ICONS folder into another folder.

 

Look in your Mcam9 folder. You whould see a folder call "Common" inside that you'll see a folder called "Icons" ( C:Mcam9CommonIcons )

If you dont see "Common", you may have dragged it into another folder below or above it.

 

Find the folder and drag it back.

 

I've seen this happen many times.

BTW: Next time try to use a subject that's a little more descriptive than "Help". How about "Icons changed to numbers".

Check your screen/configure/Files Tab...

Make sure your Data Paths are correct. Should be C:MCAM9COMMONICONS unless you changed the location of your Icons folder
