Switching between mill 3 and mill 1

[bhyde]

If anyone could help with this, I would appreciate it. I need the ability to switch between mill level 3 and mill level 1 . Not so bad, right? Well, the issue is, it is a nethasp license schema. If there are no available mill 3 licenses available, I would like to switch to mill 1. Mcam does this automagically I guess, but...I need new machine defs, control defs and posts set up to use mill level 1. Is there an easy way to copy the files and associate them with mill level 1 with little effort, or am I dreaming?

 

Oh..I am running X3

 

Thanks!

Start Programs,

 

Mastercam X3 >> Mastercam launcher

 

Select the startup options you want, a Mill 3 and click create shortcut

 

Do it again and select Mill 1, then creat shortcut

 

I don't know why you'd need new machine defs, the same should be fine to post Mill 1 & Mill 3 code

John-

 

If there are no mill 3 licenses available, then the nethasp reverts to a mill 1 license. Going between them is not the issue, that works but I do have an issue using the same machine, control defs as it will check the license server again for a mill level 3. That is the reason I asked about creating copies of machine, control, and post. I think they are tied by the post, but I could very well be wrong.

 

If I am confusing anyone, sorry about that,.. I am beyond mad about this.. (nothing to do with mastercam per se- just management).

Arrrgh...I think my frustration level is getting higher...I think it's reverting to Mcam design....bah...I quit
