importing tool path

[tooling]

I have 2 parts that are virtually identical.

 

What is the easiest way to import the tool paths in X.? In 9 all you had to do was go to the mc9 file and import it in from there. In x you can sort of do that but you can’t choose which MCX file to import it from. You can choose a folder of MCX files and it will import all of them and you have to choose the ones you want to keep. The only other way I know is to export it to the operations folder with the other 500 tool paths first then reopen the new MCX and import the tool path you wand if you can find it. Is master cam going to set it back up like in 9? Or am I just doing it the longest way possible.

In X right click/import. select the folder that contains the file, then from the drop down at the top select the correct file.

...and watch your tweaked speeds and feeds (and some other possible things) go to hell...

Oooooooh that is how to do it now.

I wasn’t seeing the drop down after I picked the folder.

Thanks Josh. The light bulb came back on. (( I think it blinks now and then though))
