MC Open problem

[kwolf]

Hi,

 

One of my friend has problem in opening MC8/MC9 files in V8/V9.

The problem is , the list of files does not appear in open dialog box unless they use wildcard '*.*' and in this case there's no bitmap associated with files , although they check bitmap option in configuration.

The only exception is some files with small letter extension ' mc8/mc9 ' . And doing a rename on files would not fix the problem.

 

Anybody has an idea?

Forgot to say their OS is Win2K and WinXP Pro.

So if they try to say open an MC8 file in V9 persay thay can not see the file or the bitmape image?

 

I have thoghts but need to see I am in the right direction of the problem.

He said they could not see MC8 or MC9 in both V8 and V9 .

I have emailed finalocx.doc to Cadcam. He should put it up on the ftp site. (For some reason I can't get to it from this computer). This .doc file explains how to fix the problem. Hope all works out.

Hi again,

 

They did what the doc said, but this time they could see files without bitmaps.

The file that Marc speaks of is located here.

Hi,

 

Thanks Jay, I dled that file for them before. But the file seems not to solve the problem.

kwolf,

 

Check the settings in Windows Explorer under "Tools-Folder Options-View". If the settings are not allowing them to "show" all files then Mastercam may not be able to "view" the files in the directory, even though they are there. Try this with Mastercam closed and then open it after adjusting the Folder Options. HTH
