Machine definition question

[Cannon]

Is there a way to get mastercam automatically load the newest version of an machine definition? I make changes to my mmd`s and lmd`s frequently and when I open an .mcx file that was saved before those MD changes, I get the older version of it. Its rediculous that now I have to go to operation manager-> files and replace the MD manually even though it points to the right file!

Yeah, but you aren't going to like it. Move them all to a different folder. Now when you pull up a job it is going to ask you to find it.

Or make two different MMD's

But isnt Mastercam saving a copy of the MD in every mcx file that I save? Why else would I be getting an older version of an MD even though that MD with those configurations doesnt exist anymore because it has been overwrite with a new one.

Because it does not work the way it is suppose to and we are stuck figuring out ways to make it work.

 

 

Sorry but things Mastercam does good it does good, but things it does terribly it does them well also.

It is supposed to save the MD and CD in the file so that you get expected results the next time you post from that file.

 

I would rather it be the other way too. I got in to the habit of reloading the MD every time I bring in an old file.
