Com Ports

[Instrument Shop]

I am attempting to use blue tooth to wirelessly communicate from MasterCam to several machines. The problem I am having is my blue tooth is on Com Port 6 and Mastercam only goes to Com port 4. Any ideas on how to fix this?

Try using TeraTerm:

This is a really simple, reliable, easy to use com port terminal that supports com ports beyond com 4. Another option is that in your Windows Device Manager you may be able to renumber your com ports. I did that on a Win98 box that we're using as a DNC server on the floor.

The communications utility inside of the Mastercam X Editor supports more than the standard four Com Ports that the Legacy communications utility mcomm supports.

X2 still has the Rast2vec.dll but in my opinion it leaves a little to be desired, at least with the stuff we have tried it on. If you use the Run User Application button and then select Rast2Vec.dll it should bring up the Raster 2 Vector converter.
