startup config

[CarbonCAD]

So I cleaned out my computer and put a fresh install of x4 then mu3. I put my config file in the config folder, and when Mastercam starts it tells me "The user specified startup config file was not available..." I go into System Config and try to get it or at least save to a file and all I get is "The parameter is incorrect." What did I do or what am I doing wrong?

after Mastercam does finally start

 

settings >> config >> start/exit.

 

Make sure the directory it is looking in for the config folder is correct

I must have done something really wrong. Under Start/Exit, start up settings, then Configuration it will not let me select a path, so I dropped it in the folder that Mastercam was pulling the default out of and still no go. Maybe re-install?

remove the config file from Mastercam completely and restart Mastercam.

 

You should get a new config file

 

See if that works

Ok that helped. Thank you. It will not recognize it if I rename the new config, but I will just use the default one it created and save my settings to it.

correct.. You need to save a new/ changed config file from within the configuration dialog.. the buttons near the bottom left. The original config file has the info so that your config file with a different name can be loaded at start-up. Maastercam looks at the one IT creates to find the one that you want loaded.
