X4 problem

[melliott6]

I am running mcx4. While working on a file a message will pop up inadvertantly. It says, "The file you are about to overwrite is from Mastercam X3, which is anearlier release of Mastercam. Once saved in Mastercam X4, it can no longer be read in Mastercam X3. Click OK to save the file or Cancel to exity this function."

 

Arghhhh! This message has poped up 5 times today for no reason. The file I am working on has never been an X3 file, nor does it ever want to be an X3 file. I just hit "Cancel" and proceed but I would like to know why I am getting this message.

 

Any ideas?

 

Thanks,

Mike

Multiple windows of Mastercam open with an older file in one of them is why I get that message..I close the offending window and it goes away

Not a good idea to run multiple mastercam instances....ever.

Check your Autosave file settings.

I only had one instane of mastercam open. My auto save options are set to autosave every 15 minutes with no boxes checked. I have been using this setting forever but the problem just arose recently.
