How much disk space required for X?

[garyg]

Can someone give me an inkling of how much disk space will be required for X? I'm sure I'll be running 9 and X together for some time and currently I'm a little low on space.

Our company is buying new computers and if a user needs optional or expanded equipment we have to justify it to IT. The new computers will be HP Compaq dc7600 Small Form Factor with Pentium D820.

1.07 gig

Mill only?

[Paul McGarr]

What's 10 gig of space cost? Probably less that it cost your company for you to post this message. Seriously. If you need to sweat even a few gig of hdd space, you need to find a new employer.

 

"Boss, I need one thousand three hundred extra megabytes in my computer." I'll have a report ready for you in the morning that will explain exactly why I need it, and how long it will take for it to pay for itself."

And complaining to management about their wasteful nitpicking will always make them stop. Not.

 

Disk space certainly is not my concern, just asking for the forum.

The program opens up in design.

It is not like V9.

There is no Mill Only. It's one application with modules for Mill Lathe and router. The total is 1GB (approx). I'm diggin it more and more everyday.

Ooh goodie Mike....

Does this mean you will come out with some tips and tricks cd's???

[Todd Tracey from Fastech]

People aren't going to know how to act with only 1 icon for Mastercam X on their screen.

[Jeff Kemper]

DON'T CLICK THAT ICON, IT MIGHT OPEN THE X!!!!!!!!

[Ken Erman from CNC Software Inc.]

You will start X and you will be able to run the options that are available on your Sim. If you only have Mill you will start in Design mode and then can switch to Mill from a menu. If you have Mill and Lathe you can switch between them at will. No matter what machine type you are working with Design is always available.

 

Of course if you only work in one product you can modify the shortcut or a config option to always start in Mill, Lathe, or Router.

So if you only have Mill, only need and use Mill, is there an option to not install Lathe, Wire, etc., to reduce the total installed size. (Or if anyone had disk space issues . . .) Thanks

Brendan: Yes. Working on a "Moving From V9 to X" CD. should be done by next week sometime. With a few basic pointers, I'm sure everyone will be VERY comfortable with X in no time.
