Hello Marc,

 

I'm not sure I understand what your looking for.

I have Mastercam X2 MR1 SP1 and Autodesk Inventor 2008 (Serial Version, not Professional). I have Direct Inventor installed and it works properly for me. Are you saying there is more than 1 Mastercamx Icon in the toolbar?

 

Previous to upgrading from Inventor version 11 to Inventor 2008 I did not have any issues either.

 

Which version of Inventor does he have?

I too have the same problem with Inventor.

 

Every time you open a new session of Inventor it adds another MasterCam Direct icon on the tool bar.

 

I have many icons on my tool bar now. I have been looking into it but have not come up with any answers.

i'm asking In-house solution for this problem and only one answer is Uninstall et reinstall mastercam and all release and all patch......

[Michael Sullivan]

I am still not able to reproduce the problem on my system. I tried opening several sessions of Inventor and it still works fine for me.

Sorry I can't help more

If anybody have the same problem just telling me!

Actually this was reported to QC in early August (so no it's not just you!).

In that case, the Mastercam user who ran into this problem apparently had to re-install Inventor to make it go away.

I don't really see any issue on our side that would cause that to happen.

Tank you

 

Do you know if supossed to be fixed in Vx2 mr2?

[Josh_Petitt]

I am having the same problem. I am using Inventor Professional 2008 SP1 and Mastercam X2 MR1 on a Windows XP64 operating system.

 

This really needs to be fixed and should not require reinstalling either program.

 

To Pete, shouldn't the Mastercam Direct Add-in keep track of how many toolbars and buttons it has created? It is pretty easy to have the addin delete any buttons it uses at startup then add back the correct number.

I have the same issue with Inventor 2008 on a Vista 64 box. any thoughts on a soulution would be greatly appreciated. I really don't want to have to uninstall to fix this.

[Pete Rimkus from CNC Software Inc.]

In the last couple weeks, further investigation has shown that we are indeed causing this problem to happen. We're working on a fix for it. In the meanwhile, to get rid of the multiple buttons, this should/could/might work...

 

Opening up the Registry Editor and go to the following key…

 

HKCUSoftwareAutodeskInventorRegistryVersion12.0UI Customization V5Toolbars.

 

The following subkeys underneath it need to be deleted...

 

AssemblyMenuBar

PartMenuBar

Mastercam:MastercamDirectX

 

Your best bet after doing this is to uninstall the Mastercam Direct .DLL (named MCInventorAddin.Dll in the 'Direct' subfolder of your Mastercam install. You can do this by either using the MastercamX Control Panel applet or by using a DOS Prompt and typing...

 

regsvr32 /u c:mcamx2directMCInventorAddin.Dll

 

replacing 'mcamx2' with the actual name of your Mastercam install folder.
