Network Accessable Configuration Files

[mdlmkr]

Is it possible to place all of my customized tool libraries, op defaults, CNC Machines, config files, post processors etc. onto a server so that I can open Mastercam on other PC's in the shop and have MCam appear and behave as it does at my home base location? We have several machines and PC's set up in work cells and would like to have any individual in the shop be able to walk up to any Pc and have MCam work as it does at his home base. We are running MCam X4 MU3. Is it possible for MCam to configure itself based on who logs into the PC? That would be the final step to complete happiness!

I have setup all of my config and other such dependant files all on one of our network drives.

 

Basically it 'should' (although sometimes it has problems) react the same way, you just specify all the locations of said files in the network location instead of on your local drive. You will need to update things within Mastercam thru areas like your MD/CD and other such places.

 

I have found its not a perfect system, but majorily works. I have a particlar lathe post that will load the MD/CD, Tool file, Operation Defaults and Operation Library's perfectly off our network. And yet another one I have will load all but the Op. Defaults and Library's no matter how hard I try...

 

Not perfect (for me) but it allows all 5 of our programmers to access the same files all at the same time.
