FTP site

[billet]

Wow,just got started making use of some of the vb scripts that are there.What a great and useful site it is,my only wish is that someone could provide a list of everything on it and what each thing does.I realize it would be time consuming but for a new user it would be invaluable as the only other way would be to do a search for a topic that would reference the utility that someone already created or posted on the FTP server!!

what vb scripts are you using? And what do they do?

[billet]

The only one I've tried so far is the ge3_2_mc9.vbs and it allowed me to convert V6 mastercam files to V9 files and then import them to V X3 and it worked great !!!

Oh cool i've never ran any of the vb script stuff.

It doesn't seem like vb scripts are as widely used with versions X and newer. I say that because there isn't much discussion about them, but maybe they've all moved over to the developer's forum. I would bet that most scripts on the FTP are from V8 & V9. Over the years, we've had some very talented and very generous people write scripts/chooks when people requested them. Just one more great aspect of this forum.

I couldn't agree more !!! Without this forum and the extremely talented people that frequent it many of us would be frustrated Mastercam "users" with only the resellers to help us out !!

I still use the "Save file twice" VB script in X3. Save a copy on my hard drive for fast access. When done, save a copy on our server for nightly backup.
