X4 Errors: Need some direction here...

[Psychomill]

Had X4 installed and I'm getting some strange errors that I'm not sure of the fix...(see pics)

 

Tool filter error: comes up when I OK to close window

 

 

... and now, I also get an error changing parameters for the MCX editor...

 

 

Another issue I've had for a long time using MCX editor: Why won't the "window properties" stick? We have a few different NC file extensions being used and even though the other extensions are listed, it won't open the window using the NC view. I have to change it all the time on the Language/Tab setting. Any .NC file is fine, only other extensions on the list doesn't work.

I have seen that tool filter alarm when my computer did not have full privileges for the mcamx folder. If your computer is part of a network, have your administrator reset the mcamx folder to full privileges for users.

Thanks Scott. Thought about the privileges on Friday but... it was the weekend. I'll have it changed...

 

Anyone with any ideas about the other two issues (MCX Editor issues)?

[Psychomill]

Permissions was the culprit. No more errors from either MCX or the editor.

 

Only one left though....

What's the deal here?

Glad to hear you resolved most of the problems. I don't have any experience with your last problem. Maybe someone else can chime in.

Hi,

 

In Mastercam editor.

Tools -> Options

Add the extensions you want in the editor tab.

[Psychomill]

Did that... they're all there on the list....

 

still doesn't pull the color/font settings for NC code. It only works for ".nc" file extensions. I have to manually change it every time for other files.

 

Cimco editor doesn't drop this... Maybe I just need to switch back and don't use the Mastercam Editor since it doesn't work...

My co-worker gets the filter error also, but he's not on a network. We both have X4, and I don't get that error
