X2 SP1 to X2 MR1 SP1

[PIERSON]

I am currently using X2 SP1. I’m considering updating to the latest version. I have side by side installs of (9.1), (X), (X MR1), (X2) and (X2 SP1). Is it recommended to install (X2 MR1 SP1) side by side also? Should I dump the other X installs? Is the newest version working well? Any advice would be appreciated.

Thanks

I have been using X2 MR1 SP1 since it came out and there doesn't seem to be any major issues with it. Seems stable and clean. There is still issues that need to be address in certain departments *cough lathe* but, it will only get better with time.

 

I'd go for it.

 

Keeping in mind that I use Mill Level 1, Solids and Lathe only... =]

I use mostly Mill level 3, with solids and 5 axis. No problems here, go for it.

I believe it's ok to install side by side if you want, but I dumped all my X's and just have X2 MR1 SP1. SP1 fixed an "arc error" issue with highfeed for me. Have had no problems converting files from any of the X's to X2.

 

Still have v8 and v9 installed for files I haven't converted yet.

Thanks everyone. The transition was nearly painless. The utility to “Update Mastercam” stated that “there are no updates available for you Mastercam X system”. I then downloaded the files from Mastercam.com and installed without any further issues.
